Island of Lost Forevers (Mystical Island Book 1)

Description

A sorcerer’s duel cannot be denied. Anyone who violates the rules of the tourney will lose their ability to wield the Power. But Damian stands to lose much more than that…

When a mysterious island appears off the coast of San Francisco, it represents an opportunity. For Damian Cooke, professor of philosophy and avid paranormal researcher, it offers a chance to add legitimacy to his research. And who else would he take with him but his best friend and colleague, Catilen Taylor who, as an empath, understands what it’s like to be labeled strange?

Beyond the military barricade they discover paradise unspoiled by modern advances. A sanctuary the travelers believe uninhabited, until they meet the island’s enigmatic ruler, who invites them to share the wonders of his bathhouse. The resort seems to offer an idyllic paradise. Damian may have even found an advanced sorcery instructor. But Catilen senses something dark lurking beneath the surface.

When scandal engulfs the companions, Damian has no choice but to resort to the sorcerer’s duel, a tradition governed by a power older than the art itself. If he wins, he might be able to set things right before the mysterious island vanishes. But if he cannot outwit his opponent, his life will be forfeit.
