Series: The Invisible College

A mortal sorcerer sets out to defy the dark magic of an ancient race awakening to wage war on mortals in an epic fantasy of adventure and love by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler.

Millennia ago, a magical race called the Aesir found a new home on a distant world. Attracted to the cold during an ice age, they hibernated for hundreds of years at a time. With each awakening, however, they saw their world changed by ever-evolving mortals encroaching on their territory and way of life. Two civilizations with opposing magic, poised to clash over and over. Now, the Aesir are awakening to wage a new war—this time to exterminate their enemy once and for all.

Robinson Hawksley is an elocutionist at the Invisible College who has perfected a way of teaching speech to train sorcerers by using the intelligences that create magic. The world needs more sorcerers to protect against the looming Aesir threat, and Robinson’s newest charge is McKenna Foster, a barrister’s daughter rendered deaf after a bout with a plague unleashed by the Aesir. As their lessons progress and they grow ever closer, there also comes a strange connection to the Aesir—one that crosses the boundaries of time itself and the unfathomable mysteries of the Unseen Powers.

Emerging from their icy fortresses, the Aesir begin their bombardment. Can Robinson and McKenna, brought together by magic, stop an endless war with powers even they have yet to fully understand?

Readers will fall in love with the characters and root for their triumphs. (And I may have a crush on Robinson now.)” —Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg “Jeff has written an engaging story full of ancient magic, secret handshakes, devious antagonists, and a charming hero just discovering his power.” —Luanne G. Smith, author of The Vine Witch “From the prologue, I was absolutely hooked! With a world of inventive magic, a doomsday war on the horizon, and a romance you can’t help but want to cheer for, this story showcases some of Jeff Wheeler’s best work. Old and new fans of his masterful storytelling are going to gobble this right up and come back begging for more.” —Allison Anderson, author of the Cartographer’s War series “A delightfully unique story, where magic is melded into technology. [The Invisible College] is the start of what looks to be a riveting and absolutely addicting series.” —TJ Mackay, founder and publisher of InD'tale Magazine and InD'tale Reviews
