The Oracle's Bridge: Book 1 of Bridges Magic Series

Magic has been corrupted. The kingdom of Veltak lies in ruins, its royal family dead and the Magicians' Guild reduced to ash, while the dark sorcerer Barok Tana rules with an army of undead and stone-forged abominations.Apprentice magician Stric Deamara survives the massacre, hurled twenty years into a ruined future by the Guild's Grandmaster with a single, impossible quest.Find the lost infant prince who was smuggled away the night the kingdom burned.Guided by Talnar, an endlessly cynical book of ancient knowledge, Stric allies with Teela, a hardened survivor orphaned by Barok's tyrannous rule. Their hunt for the missing heir leads them through ancient forests, hidden elven sanctuaries, and a closely guarded island of wormholes that hurls them into a terrifying modern world, where the true king has been locked away and gaslit into believing Veltak is only a delusion.Bringing the king home is only the beginning. To tear down Barok's rule, Stric must forge an unprecedented alliance between humans, elves, werewolves, fairies, and vampyres. He must awaken a rare power capable of harmonising all their magics through one fragile conduit.If he fails, the Deathseed Crystal feeding Barok's necromancy will consume Veltak forever, along with everyone he has come to call family.Perfect for readers who love epic high fantasy with hard, rule-driven magic systems and cinematic battles, found-family bonds, slow-burn, trauma-aware character arcs, multi-race alliances, and portal and time-travel twists.The Oracle's Bridge is the first book in The Bridges of Magic Series, a sweeping epic about what it costs to heal a broken world when your greatest weapon is the power to bring divided peoples, and their magic, together.A must-read for fans of Jenn Lyons, James Islington, and Ryan Cahill.Don't miss out on this thrilling adventure!
