It's finally happening!!! At long last, "The Magician's Apprentice" is being published as an original novel. I also have plans to publish the four stories that follow it (the Dragon Mage Chronicles): Stormdrake, Seadrake, Firedrake, and Wardrake. I've already had covers made for those four books and am absolutely beside myself over how beautiful they are. But I'm going to wait to share them to hopefully draw out the suspense a little bit. ^_^

 

If you'd like to support the series, feel free to visit the Magician's Apprentice page on Goodreads and add it to your watch list:

You can also check out the book's page on my website and ooh and ahh over the gorgeous cover:

Feel free to share the word with anyone you think might be interested! I'll post more updates as the publication date draws closer. :D

 

 

The Magician's Apprentice (prequel to the Dragon Mage Chronicles)
by J.A. Jaken
 

Novel (108,000 words)
Genre(s): Fantasy/Adventure, M/M Romance

 

Jander Teregnan has never wanted anything more than to become a mage--to serve his king and defend his country as he explores his natural talent at commanding the strange power known as magic. Of course every apprentice needs a master, which comes with its own set of challenges...especially when the master he's chosen for himself is none other than Andrei Teresh, personal advisor to the king and master mage of the city of Vallerin.

 

Andrei, however, has more pressing problems on his mind than dealing with the unsolicited advances of one untrained mage-apprentice. A fierce and merciless army of unknown intent is sweeping across the land, threatening the kingdom he has sworn to protect. Even worse, dragons--long thought to have withdrawn from the world of mankind--are emerging once again and spreading chaos in their wake. Somehow, Jander must find a way to help; not only to prove that he can be of use in the defense of his kingdom and become a mage, but also to secure his place at the side of the man he hopes to claim as master both of his magic and his heart.
