Maurpikios Fiddler: The True Meaning of Magic

by M.J. Logan

A fantasy novel borne out of real-life tragedy, Maurpikios The True Meaning of Magic is set in a modern-day fantasy world where two races of people the magicals and the non-magicals. War and conflict have plagued the two groups for centuries. Now both races find themselves facing a common enemy. In the magical world, childhood scorpioma plagues the lives of their children, while in the non-magical world, medical professionals have made great strides in discovering successful treatments for childhood cancers. Both sides, realizing the two diseases are one and the same, forge the Treaty of Earthly Peace, creating a bond that forces the two groups to come together and collaborate at Saint Juliana's Children's Research Institute and Hospital. It is a race to save the lives of their children from the terrible twin diseases. Yet there exists an old prophecy that gives the world a champion-young Maurpikios Fiddler. However, with every champion, there is dark force to oppose his greatness. Radu Vrotsos, a wealthy philanthropist and a maniacal wizard, makes it no secret that he supports the bigotry and segregation of the old regime. Completely against the integration of the magicals and the non-magicals, it is his hope to bring an end to the collaboration among the two groups. Maurpikios Fiddler will enter Saint Juliana's Children Research Institute and Hospital a boy, and in the end, he will have no choice but to display the bravery of a man. This is a story of life, love, loyalty, family, friendship, and most of all, faith in God. It is set in a world of fairies and angels and all things magical. However, it is loosely based on the real-life journey of an amazing eleven-year-old boy who discovered the true meaning of magic while going through cancer treatment.
