Always stand. Never fall.
Broken Mirrors, Book 2
If I could offer one piece of advice now, as I fall past the eighty-fourth floor of Victory
Tower, with the sky above me the swirling eye of a crimson hurricane, the blade of a
goddess stuck in my thigh, and a man I used to love preparing to end the world, it would
be this: Magic is not the answer to your problems.
Sorcerers have always been feared in the City, their origins as unknown as
the nature and extent of their power. When James Black, a young man fleeing an
abusive lover, becomes a sorcerer, his old life is erased from existence, and his
new life is indebted to powerful entities.
Escaping the man who abused him was supposed to be the end, but the very
magic that freed him has put him on a collision course with the gods and the
Sorcerer King himself.
And only one of them can survive.
Warning: This is a work of urban fantasy featuring a gay male protagonist,
with a romantic subplot and focus on magic, dragons, tricksters, sorcerers, and
survival of domestic abuse. Please adjust expectations accordingly.

Acknowledgments
My most heartfelt thanks and gratitude go first to my amazing editor, Anne
Scott, who I believe is the only person to have read this manuscript more than I
have. My deepest appreciation also goes out to my steadfast beta readers Pam,
Dave, Kim, Scott G., Chris H., Nicky, Debra, Harmony, Mike W., and ID Locke,
but most especially to Chris S. Thanks for sticking with me. Thanks to Dr. Curtin
for telling me it was wrong. Thanks also to Tool, Rise Against, and Muse, for
without their music James would just be another guy on the street. And finally,
my eternal gratitude to my readers, things are only just getting started.
