🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Tom Larcombe
Tom’s reading tastes have never looked back, although they’ve broadened to include the occasional non fiction book and science fiction. “Amber Uncovered” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2017. Amber has been a child for what appears to be forever. She is unaware that she is a wizard and her magic has been protecting her by keeping her young for decades. However now her magic has determined that being young isn’t sufficient protection and she is now making up for lost time. Charles watches over the city, looking for any budding wizards so that he can train them, or at the very least warn them, before they can get into any serious trouble.
