The Magician's Guide — Robert E. Gelinas

Magic is real. That reality is explained by world-renowned quantum physicist Dr. William Turner to his daughter Sasha within the pages of his Journal. Yet, on the same day that she mysteriously receives the Journal, she also receives the shocking news of her father's recent incarceration and inexplicable escape from a maximum security mental hospital in Switzerland, where he was being held accused of murder. Thus begins professor Sasha Turner's whirlwind odyssey, which takes her and her Teaching Assistant, Travis Gardner, around the world to help her father foil an international conspiracy -- from Texas across Europe to the Middle East. But, along the way she soon discovers what her father told her was absolutely true. Magic is real, and the fate of the civilized world may very well hinge on her learning how to wield it. Fortunately, Dr. William Turner, trained as a top scientist but having become a Master Magician himself, is very explicit in his Journal about how mortal folk learn the Art of Magic and exactly how to travel the road to becoming a true Magi. An Excerpt from The Journal of William Turner: “Indeed, what you are about to learn isn't a compendium of mere myth and lore, but a wealth of ancient secrets revealed, magical methods and techniques detailed, and true wonders explained. However, the proof of my words lies not in my testimony alone, dear Reader, but rather in the observance and replication of my instructions and thus believing the witness of your own eyes as to what comes of your own preparation and actions.” The incredible journey for Sasha and Travis all begins with discovery of the Faces in the Stones . . .
