Who knew kickstarting a city's mystical mojo would cause such chaos? Reigniting the Embers of Existence has the Hidden City of Isilon buzzing like a beehive after a double espresso. All thanks to yours truly. With a tsunami of awakenings, the streets are teeming with ancient citizens, creatures and critters, and those squid-faced nasties—the Dark Weavers. The danger is ramping up and with the enemy adapting to everything we throw at them, the battle to secure the safety of our streets is getting desperate.

Just when I accept my destiny of being the guardian of a sentient city, the fae universe throws me the ultimate curveball—the return of my predecessors. The Light Weavers are back and just as powerful and enigmatic as ever. But I don’t have time to worry about being replaced…not with magical mishaps, monsters, and an army of Dark Weavers gaining strength in the shadows. It’s time to harness everything I’ve learned to prove I’m the man for the job—even if I have to bend a few laws of nature to do it.

As a rookie cop and the goofball brother, no one expected me to be the one Mother Nature chose to safeguard the mythological Hidden City of Isilon, but after being thrown into a river of raw prana, I was forever changed. Not my whacked sense of humor—Hells no, that is firmly intact—but me. Something is building inside me, and I don’t want to freak out my family, but it’s big. Powers? Magical potential? Or I could be about to star in the chestburster scene straight out of Alien.
