The gods aren't dead. They're imprisoned. And it's my job to break them out... for a price, of course. A secret war has waged in the multi-million acre forests, mountains, and hidden lakes of your world. The greatest magical inventors and cruelest captors have created prisons of war that make Alcatraz look like a daycare... That's where I come in. They call me Leonidas Rex. Once the heir to a tyrant's throne, I've lived the last decade exiled in the Pacific Northwest with my sharpshooting best friend. My mobile home has wheels, so moving is never a problem. I'm not just a prison-breaker, though. I'm also a mind-magician. Which means I manipulate human consciousness—be it with illusions, skill-mining or weaponizing memories. You would think a mind-reader might have seen the threat coming. But I didn't. And now, along with my sharpshooting friend and my childhood sweetheart, I'm being blackmailed into a suicide mission to breach a prison guarded by a crazed clan of treasure-loving djinn. Survival? Unlikely. Consequences? Certainly. To make matters worse, I can't free this particular prisoner—not without releasing what he's carrying. I know I should kill him, but I just can't bring myself to it. He is my baby brother, after all. Can't free him. Don't want to kill him. But if I fail my mission, chances are, the hidden world will spark into an all out civil war. And soon, the rest of the world will be in for a very rude awakening.

Joseph Daniel
Author · 16 books

Joseph has been writing novels since he was eleven; it took him almost two decades, over a million “practice” words, and ten books before he mustered up the courage to publish his eleventh. Joseph spends a good deal of his time working on his books at his house in Illinois where he is often distracted by Lupin–his English Golden Retriever–reminding him to take a break, as depicted here. When he isn’t writing, Joseph can be found giving into his dog’s entreaties to play, or reading anything by Brandon Sanderson, Brandon Mull or Jim Butcher. He also has been spotted playing the occasional tabletop or video game.
