The gods aren't dead. They're imprisoned. My job is to break them out... for a price. A secret war rages in the hidden wilderness of our world. I’m Leonidas Rex—exiled heir and mind-magician—I manipulate human consciousness while living off the grid with my sharpshooting friend. You would think a mind-reader might have seen the threat coming. I didn't. Now I'm blackmailed into a suicide breach a prison guarded by treasure-obsessed djinn. With my childhood sweetheart at my side, I face an impossible choice. Free this prisoner and risk unleashing what he carries or fail and watch as the hidden world erupts into civil war. Consequences? Certainly. Survival? Unlikely. If you liked the worlds of Jim Butcher, Benedict Jacka, Shayne Silvers, RL King, Sarah J. Maas, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, Charlaine Harris or K.F. Breene, prepare to fall in love again!
Author
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.
