Nefarious Allure: Devious Arcana - Book One
Set in the massive, fully detailed world of M.R. Mathias's million selling: The Wardstone Trilogy, comes an original epic fantasy series featuring brand new characters, thrilling adventures, and familiar places.
Braiden Thane, an orphaned Seaward City cobble rat, helps Big Bolly Boreck collect debts and keep tabs on those who owe their various employers. When a collection goes bad and Braiden ends up on a ship tied to a millstone with their murdered mark, he has to find a way to survive. Turns out their mark was one of High King Mikahl's men. Braiden's only option to avoid being sunk is to jump ship, and all he has with him are the few coins and a pocket watch he pilfered from the corpses pocket.
Thus begins an adventure across the known kingdoms as Braiden and his amazing array of companions battle sea marauders, feral giants, and evil wizards, all while trying to figure out a magical timepiece that might take him back to the girl who has his heart. But first he and another young lady, who is both beautiful, and brave, must get to the Summers Day Festival, to find out how to access the hoard of treasure they stumbled upon when forced to flee an angry pirate and his crew.
If you loved the authors, The Wardstone Trilogy, The Dragoneer Saga, The Legend of Vanx Malic or Fantastica, this new epic fantasy serial is right up your alley.
Excerpt
For those who have never read one of M. R. Mathias's highly rated fantasy series, they all take place on the same planet, in different ages, on different continents. On this planet are six otherworldly towers that reach heavenward from where they break the surface in even intervals at the Cardinal positions and the poles. These are referenced in all of the series, and one of them is on the cover of Paragon Dracus: The Legend of Vanx Malic Book Six. The Spire where the Summer's Day Festival in The Wardstone Trilogy takes place is one of them. Clover (of the Crimzon and Clover short stories and the Dragoneer Saga) the most fearsome dragonrider with the most powerful dragon, figured out how to use them to travel the planet. Now, Braiden Thane, the main character in the Devious Arcana series has come upon an enchanted pocket-watch that allows him to travel time. That means Braiden could come across any character, in any of Mathias's series, at any point in their life.
While starting on the continent where The Wardstone Trilogy takes place, Braiden will eventually get a better grasp of how to use what he found, and inevitably his adventuring will take him to the distant age of Vanx Malic's world, or the continent where the Royal Dragoneers battled for the future of their realm, or maybe even to the Kingdom of Narvoza, where Braxton Bray faced the demon Pharark, in Fatastica.
Now that is some really Devious Arcana
