About the Book

Since the dawn of time, there has existed a source of power outside the natural world. Few people know of its existence, and fewer still have the power to control it.

That source of power is the power of magic. Magic is used in the service of peace and order - Light Magic. But magic is also used in the service of evil and chaos - Dead Magic. And a small group of wizards walk among us. Nikko - sparked with the Fire Magic - became the Teacher and Protector of the Wizards of Light Magic after his mentor, Burgess, was killed. It is the Teacher and Protector's job to train and lead the Three Wizards, and it was Nikko's job to find the next set of warriors that would battle the Dead Magic. The Three Wizards came in the form of three sisters: Summer was sparked with the Earth Magic, Jolie was sparked with the Wind Magic, and Reece was sparked with the Water Magic. Together, Nikko and the Three Wizards must work together to defend the natural world - our world - from the Wizard of the Dead Magic. Will they be strong enough to save the natural world from an army of goblins, trolls, skeletons, and other minions of the dead magic?

To do so, they must learn to harness the power of the magic. They must acquire magical artifacts. And they must ally themselves with natural and supernatural creatures.

Otherwise, the natural world will be destroyed...
