The Age of Mages
(Book I of the Mage Tales)
FREE!
A mage should be able to handle anything, but really, the circumstances are getting quite ridiculous.
Joshua’s witch mother has been missing and presumed dead since he was a teen. Years later, when he learns she might be alive, all he can think of is finding her. His antagonistic vampire father agrees to help, but Joshua fears he has ulterior motives. The situation gets even more complicated when they discover why she disappeared: she possessed a mysterious crystal whose powers remain a secret.
Unfortunately, Joshua and his father aren’t the only ones interested in the crystal. As their search leads them from New York to Las Vegas to Rome, they’re pursued by the Paranormal Investigation Agency, the High Council of Witches, and yet more vampires. In the process, they uncover a plot to wake the deadliest vampire who ever lived.
If Joshua can find the crystal, he might find his mother—and stop a massacring blood-seeker from rising. But that means not fighting with his father long enough to hold off adversaries both human and supernatural.
It might just be more than one mage can handle.
Afterword
Thank you so much for reading my book! If you enjoyed it, I’d greatly appreciate a review. Although they only take a minute to do, reviews can mean the difference between a writer who keeps writing and one who doesn’t. Posting about it on social media or your blog would make my day as well!

About the Author
Ilana Waters writes mostly fantasy for adults, young adults, and middle graders. She once pet-sat an electric eel and crashed her car into a house, though not on the same day. Before she became a writer, she was reprimanded and/or fired for reading in every job she ever held.
She considers this her greatest accomplishment to date.
