Chapter 1

Donovan

Pacific Ocean, 2015

The sirens sounded inside the plane. Bloody murder was screamed. It couldn't be good. One simple trip to Australia couldn't get worse. Donovan said his last prayer.

Thank you, God, for my life. I will now see you soon.

SPLASH.

Silence.

Out of instinct, Donovan pulled the latch. The window swung open. He floated up to the surface, saw land, swam.

Australia.

Days later, he was living with the kangaroos. Ate dingoes. Tours passed, no one noticed him. But one did. A girl and her father saw the waving hand and pulled the ragged man out of the den, took him to their home, cared for him. A month after he took a plane home to Pittsburgh and took the girl and her father with him. They moved to America with him. They had saved his life. He was grateful.

The father was Octavian Magnus, a level 5 magician. Donovan wanted to know the trade of magic. Octavian took Donovan as his apprentice. They moved to a town where Octavian had a friend. His name was Alfred Hallun, a librarian and fellow magician. The daughter, Rosalee, was a level 2 magician. No sooner than they had moved, Donovan had chosen his name, Joe Gerber, and summoned a powerful entity.
