Cover Reveal: The M Word by Jeff McIntyre
Blurb:
Magic is unleashed!
Or is it? More than two years have passed since the fateful night that magic was released, yet the world at large remains blissfully unaware. But the U.S. government knows more than it’s letting on. Both the FBI and the military are making calculated moves to utilize magic, preparing for a reality the public has yet to grasp. At Fermilab, a groundbreaking and mysterious announcement is on the horizon—one that could finally expose magic to the world.
Across Chicago, Detective Debra Kazdin is chasing a serial killer with seemingly supernatural abilities, and she’ll need the help of the enigmatic gnome Burbolbonomicus to track them down. Daniel and Sophia Fitzroy struggle to keep their son Tony’s life as normal as possible, despite his role in the return of magic and his emerging powers as a magi. Leo Schafer hosts a podcast on supernatural events, but his personal life is unraveling—he’s lost his job as a reporter and withdrawn from those who care about him, and no one knows why.
The Knights of the Stone are desperate to fulfill their purpose and are on the hunt for the source of magic, but Brian Cooke is on a mission to eliminate them before they succeed with the help from an unlikely source.
But even as these forces maneuver in the shadows, something far older and far more dangerous has arrived. An ancient supernatural entity is on a collision course with the Fitzroys and their allies, determined to destroy Tony and extinguish magic once and for all. To protect him, they will have to step beyond themselves, forge new alliances, and confront threats greater than they ever imagined. The battle for magic’s survival is about to begin.
