Rise of the Magi

A small black sphere contains all the magic that exists - past,
present, and future. Without it, two worlds would not survive: a world of
enchantment called Rune, and ours. The sphere has been protected for centuries
by a spell that was believed unbreakable. Asa Stone, an unremarkable young man
in a place of magic, discovers that the spell has been breached and a small chip
of the black sphere has been stolen. Now an unspeakable evil threatens to use
the stolen magic to destroy literally all of existence. With nowhere else to
turn and the fate of two worlds in his hands, Asa must put his trust in a band
of outlaw magicians, conniving thieves, renegade sorcerers, and heartless
killers. Asa Stone's dreams of a life less mundane come abruptly and
horribly true as he finds himself in possession of incalculable power and
trapped in a strange and terrifying place called Earth.

Marc Silvestri, the co-creator of The Darkness and Witchblade
and the creator of Cyber Force, presents an epic adventure that follows a
common young man on a journey that turns the ideas of fantasy and reality upside
down!
