About the cover artist:
Bradley
Sharp was born in 1977 in Oxfordshire, UK. From a young age he filled many
sketch books, so it only made sense to study Graphic Communication at Nene
University, where he received a BA Honors degree in 1997.
But
the real world called Sharp away from academics, so he traveled around the
globe a couple of times, working as a graphic designer. Now he makes a living
by designing magazine spreads, but freelances with vector illustrations,
allowing him to create something far-removed from what he does in his
nine-to-five job.
Sharp
finds vector to be an easy tool and believes anyone can use it. "I'd say
my artwork is nothing more than glorified doodling. I like the logical
inconsistencies of surrealism and find inspiration from many places such as
music or the science fiction genre. Dog Star's novels lend themselves well to
my style. I look forward to working with DSB in the future, and hope fans will
like the imagery as much as they enjoy the words." Find Sharp's work
online at http://www.bradsharp.co.uk.
Funerals
are usually the end of the story, not the beginning.
Newly
graduated warrior-mages Toria Connor and Kane Nalamas find themselves the last
remaining mages in the city when a mage school teacher mysteriously falls ill
and dies. But taking over the school themselves isn't in the cards. They're set
to become professional mercenaries-if they make it through the next 18 months
as journeymen first.
The
debate over whether to hunt mutated monsters in the Wasteland or take posh
bodyguard jobs is put on hold when a city elder hires them to solve the mystery
of the disappearing mages. Toria and Kane's quest brings them to the British
colonial city of New Angouleme, where their initial investigation reveals that
the problem is even greater than they feared.
But
when a friend is kidnapped, they'll have to travel to the other side of the
globe to save her, save themselves, and save magic itself.
