Featured Book: Shadow Magic by Nazri Noor

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

The gods are dying. But for one man, death is only the beginning.

Murdered as a ritual sacrifice, amateur thief and professional charmer Dustin Graves mysteriously survives, finding himself gifted with strange, dark magic. Then more dead bodies turn up. Some are human, but one is a god of the old world, slain at his own doorstep.

Mortal or divine, the bloodshed must end, and Dust is the mage for the job. But first he must contend with a succubus, a talking sword, a spider queen, a goddess of magic, and eldritch abominations from beyond the stars. No big deal… right?

If you like snarky heroes, snappy dialogue, and a bit of grit and gore, you’ll love the first standalone book in Nazri Noor’s series of urban fantasy novels. Explore the Darkling Mage universe and discover a taste of Shadow Magic today.

Logan Canino is new to the school, but he isn’t exactly like your typical high school boy. While many would be worrying about new crushes or college applications, he knows that there is life beyond high school and he has to embark on an endeavor of extreme importance.
Remy West, a high school senior at a Long Island, New York school, understands handling pressure. Many think that she leads a charmed life as a cheerleader and member of the popular crowd, but she looks forward to reading a good book more than attending a big party. When she meets Logan, the two instantly form a deep connection.
Remy’s classmate Daniel Gatto is more then he appears to be. He instantly shows an intense dislike for this new student. He has been aggressively flirting with Remy for years and hasn’t taken the hint that she just isn’t interested. When Logan and Remy get serious about each other, Daniel becomes threatening and ominous.
As the three navigate high school relationships, Logan’s past will be revealed to Remy. He’s hiding something supernatural, and he’s not the only one. Entwined with the teenagers’ adventure is a glimpse of life in ancient Rome and a 1900s-era prep school. The three stories connect in unexpected ways as Remy’s destiny is revealed to readers.

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I tend to write like I’m actually telling a story to someone who’s sitting next to me. I try and keep things flowing by giving details, but not to the point of boring readers to death. Over all I try and make it fun and interesting without getting too silly or serious.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Just write. Don’t worry if your first draft is marred by spelling and grammar errors. Just keep going until you have a finished story. Then you can go back and edit the crap out of that thing. Seriously go to town on that bad boy.

Author Bio:
I moved around a good deal as a kid, but being a navy brat is like that. My dad read to me a good deal instilling a love for books and stories. I attended the Art institute of Toronto, where I learned a bit of art, but renewed my love of storytelling. I finished in 2006, and tried my hand at making comics and graphic novels and discovered that I can tell the story better when I don’t have to confine my characters to pictures. Words offer a bigger canvas, and more colors than I could possibly Imagine. In 2010, I wrote my first story “Misfortune” . It sat around until someone read it and said I should just put it on Amazon.com. That takes us to today… where I’m trying to promote my book…. and writing this… and this… and I’ll stop now.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I always liked the stories about unlikely heroes. If they’re really unlucky all the better. What drove my writing for this particular piece, was that the main character was both, but his misfortune was the thing that gave him an edge. It’s what makes him special and is the driving force behind the whole story.
