Innocent blood is spilled, unfathomable magic is called, and lightning arcs across the sky. The boundary between worlds is broken and a teenaged boy falls through the crack.
A sorcerer seeks the means to re-make the world as he desires, but the key slips from his grasp. His minions, a green giant, remade with bronze gears and steel springs, and a techno-magically enhanced forest panther, are sent to retrieve it. Failure will bring pain and misery in their Master’s workshop.
Jake, battered and unconscious, is found in the forest by the Dunderhills; small, furry people that hide from most of human kind. With the aid of the mysterious Sister Faye, member of a secret warrior sect, and the Healer, Adele Pumpernill, Jake awakens to find himself in a world he does not know. Although his memory is gone, he finds that his view of this world does not quite fit. Magic isn’t supposed to be real, yet he can see its colored aura, making him unique among the Talented.
Unfortunately, being different is the worst thing possible when trying to fit in at a new school. Jake falls afoul of the wickedly Talented bully, Pai Chang and his band of thugs. With the help of his friends, Jennifer, the Healer’s daughter, and Tabitha, a tiny, blonde spitfire, Jake navigates the pressure and stress of learning the ropes, discovering himself, and falling in love. Now if he can only survive deadly assassins and the bus ride to school.
Magical creatures, flashing swords, wonderful friends, and fearsome enemies line the path of Jake’s journey home. Classic fantasy adventure with a technological twist, Colors of Change is the first story in the Broken Worlds series. Buy on Amazon Buy on Smashwords
