Bonded in Magic

"Long ago, the winds of war began to blow, threatening to tear apart both the magical and mundane civilizations on Earth. To avoid this devastating conflict, the magical races united to create a portal to the enchanting world of Malati. But now, three thousand years later, corruption at the highest levels is increasing tensions once again and things are far more complex than most people know.

As a ward of the prestigious Steelblade Academy of Magic, sixteen-year-old Tobin Ammagan has always felt isolated from the political fray. That is until he discovers a classmate has become a pawn in the dangerous game of magical politics. Despite his dislike for the boy, Tobin's strong sense of justice compels him to take action. With the help of his friends, including Colin, with whom he shares a special bond, Tobin risks everything to do what he believes is right.

But as Tobin delves deeper into the world of magical politics, he realizes that the consequences of failure could mean a devastating war for the world, and a fate worse than death for himself. Will he be able to save his classmate and prevent a catastrophic war, or will his own magical powers, a part of his very soul, be stripped from him? As tensions rise and allegiances are tested, Tobin must make difficult choices in order to protect the ones he loves and the world he calls home.
