Discarded

By Michael J Allen
Discarded by Michael J Allen digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

They threw him away, but Power lurks in the trash.

 

Magic is sold on every corner alongside designer coffee.

 

Spells and constructs offer the ultimate in convenience.

 

Until the magic starts murdering people.

 

Caught between magic's monsters and a shadow war against long extinct fey, a homeless ex-con barely scraping by is called upon to save the city from the 'friends' who framed him.

 

Eli is forbidden the spells he designed.

 

He's barred from purchasing magical components.

  

With more than his own survival on the line, he must forge a new kind of magic.

 

Can Eli master dumpstermancy before magic devours the world?

4.0
“This is one of the better urban fantasy stories, mainly because the characters are fleshed-out and interesting. The magic system seems structured enough that it makes sense and has limits/costs but at the same time is capable of surprising the reader. There are a lot of unanswered questions raised by this [presumably] first book in the series. Some of these gaps actually hampered the story... such as how much did his wife know when Eli was convicted and how much does she know about Thoth Corp's current illegal activities? If book two were available now, I'd probably carry on reading - mostly to see what happened to the young Ret girl and to spend some more time with Sonny.”
“What happens when commercialism and magic are mixed? You end up in a world like Eli's. Eli is really down on his luck after being betray by the magic corporation that he helped build. A corporation that started out with the best of intentions that has now been corrupted by greed. I love this book because it blends the lines between reality and fantasy in very realistic ways. Eli's character is jaded and at times downright unlikable (especially in the beginning) but that, too, adds to the realism. Overall this fantasy world is very well crafted.”

About Michael J Allen

Originally from Oregon, Michael J. Allen is a pluviophile masquerading as a vampire IT professional in rural Georgia. Warped from youth by the likes of Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams, Gene Wilder and Danny Kay, his sense of humor leads to occasional surrender, communicable insanity, a sweet tooth and periodic launch into nonsensical song. He loves books, movies, the occasional video game, playing with his Labradors - Myth and Magesty. He knows almost nothing about music.

A recovering Game Master, he gave up running RPG's for writing because the players didn't play out the story in his head like book characters would - we know how that worked out.

Suddenly fresh out of teenagers, he spends his days writing in restaurants, people watching and warring over keyboard control with the voices in his head.
