The Keys of Illusions, Tome 1 : These Fated Secrets

Résumé

In a world riddled with war, people sought to destroy magic and its faithful followers. Now, magic is fighting back.

After the great magic uprising in the realm of Kalem, those with magic are objects, play things for the influential and rich. The Hunter’s Guild was set up to capture, traffic, and control them, but most of all: pick and choose who is worthy of life.

Nineteen-year-old Joseph Price has been a servant at the Hunter’s Guild for over fifteen years after he was captured and separated from his family and believes he will be a servant for the rest of his short life. As a servant, Joseph must take on jobs for his skillset, earn money and help the good patrons of the world who he must serve with a smile. In one fateful meeting, however, Joseph finds out why magic was banished in the first place, and moreover; how to return it.

Four keys. Four beacons of magic are scattered across continents and lost secrets that will reunite Joseph with people he long thought dead.

Fifty years after the war, magic is fighting back and it’s Joseph’s choice whether or not to oppose the change… or fight to shift the worlds perspective on the very thing they tried to destroy.
