Theod Aegis, mundane in a family of mages, has inherited scattered memories of a life on Earth. He wants nothing more than to serve his citystate but he is powerless to fight the demons bent on exterminating humanity.  When he finally awakens magic, he recognizes its terrifying power from physics classes on Earth. Follow as Theod explores the nature of reality, teaches particle-wave duality to a cute light mage, and develops technology to fight off an army of genocidal monsters.  THE MARTIAN by Andy Weir meets SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED MAGIC by Andrew Rowe   Warning: Reading this book may qualify you to receive a minor in physics, certificates available on patreon.

There were lots of little changes and I want to thank my Patreon supporters for helping with some of the harder choices. Thanks to everyone that commented with suggested changes, you are forever appreciated.  Book two is all plotted but I'm only about 5 chapters in. I will start posting draft chapters to Patreon so folks can get a sense of where things are going, if they are interested. But then I will go back through and edit the whole book before posting it here. With that in mind, it will likely start coming out in late Summer 2024 or even into Fall if editing takes a lot of time. Stay tuned! Oh and FYI - No cats are harmed in this fiction... It's a metaphor...
