Forgotten Magic — Carey Scheppner

From the creator of The Dragon Mage Trilogy comes a whole new trilogy that pits technology against magic. Peace had reigned for many generations, and the War of Ages, a battle between mech forces and living beings, had largely been forgotten, as had the use of magic. But through an accidental discovery of an ancient mech ship, Halic, a gnome dedicated to the study of technology, discovers the presence of mech forces on the nearby planets. With some newfound friends, Halic gets drawn into a mission to make others aware of the resurging threat. The races must unite and revive their magical skills to combat the mechs before they take control of all living beings, and potentially annihilate them completely. With records virtually nonexistent, and verbal stories that few believe, can Halic and his companions devise a method of defeating the mechs in time? One thing is certain; magic had prevailed in the past, and magic will desperately be needed again.
