Master of the Tower

a story of witchkind

By: Don Jones

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Three years ago, Daniel Scratch ascended to become Adherent of the Sixth Axis, the primary, magical forces of Endings in the world. Since then, he’s tried to use that power for the betterment of all witchkind—despite the “don’t bother” attitude of the senior adherents of the other four Axes. The other junior adherents, on the other hand, are much more willing to help the rest of witchkind—especially when it comes to curtailing the humans’ use of magic-draining iron.

But a critical misstep tears the Veil, the subtle, delicate magic that conceals witchkind’s true nature from the humans. Human priests begin calling for a resumption of the Hunts, and the death of all witchkind.

To heal the Veil, Daniel must confront his own vulnerabilities, the millennia-old history of his predecessors, and the very nature and reason for his own birth.

Praise for Daniel Scratch, the first story of witchkind:

"The gothic setting is rich in detail: magical bureaucracy and legality, Lithuanian spell words, peculiar artifacts, taciturn ghosts... this work is generally best suited to readers who enjoy slow immersion in rich prose. Adult and teenage fans of thoughtful fantasy will love exploring this beautifully described world of arcane powers." – BookLife

"Author Don Jones has crafted a wonderfully compelling tale of magic, witches, and learning your own identity, and one which will be sure to capture the hearts and minds of fantasy readers everywhere... More than this, though, there’s a deep emotional quality to the character which is a rare find in the genre, and one which makes the reader really feel for Daniel throughout." – Readers' Favorite
