Magic Vortex

by Ross Goodell, Laren Bright

Finally, Emperor Kantab’s schemes have been thwarted in both Ben’s and Mizli’s worlds. With relief, the teens settle down to concentrate on their Guardian training as they begin their postgraduate term at the Academy. However, they have barely started the term when they learn that the wily Emperor is hatching an even more sinister plot to regain dominance. This both complicates and accelerates the Academy's already intense advanced training for them, and keeps them too busy to do any sleuthing for clues to what Kantab up to. When, at last, they get the opportunity to investigate, they daringly try walking through a mysterious portal and find themselves lost in a mind-warping Vortex of Magic. They race through a bewildering time maze to unravel the Emperor’s diabolically clever plan prevent him from restoring Feyr’s dominance of magic and spreading Feyr’s fearful rule over all of Bespri and Earth.

About the author

I began creating stories in my early child-hood and have continued deriving fun and inspiration from fantasy, poetry, and spiritual quests over the course of a checkered career, which has included creative software development, being a motorcycle courier, and driving eighteen-wheelers cross-country. My poems and articles have appeared in various publications over the years.

My first novel, Master Key of the Harmonies, written with Laren Bright, was selected as a Finalist in the 2015 National Indie Excellence Awards' Young Adult Fiction category.
