The New Magic: Cover Reveal
Coming in September 2018, The New Magic is a white-knuckle fantasy thriller from Joseph Malik, and the highly-anticipated sequel to the international bestseller Dragon’s Trail.
“Hard fantasy, written with great attention paid to every last detail . . . effortless and finely written. The world-building is extremely well done and so realistic that I was able to easily fall into this world and enjoy every minute.”
