The Aetheric Codex #1
The Lost Pages: The Aetheric Codex Book One
Finn Rowan was a street thief six months ago. Now he works for the most powerful mage in the kingdom—and he’s trying not to screw it up.
He got his second chance the hard way.
He died.
Archmagister Alaric Thorne brought him back with a mechanical heart and gave him a way out.
That should have been enough.
But Magnus Valtor isn’t dead.
And Finn’s new heart is exactly what he’s after.
The more Finn uses it, the more it changes him.
If he loses control, he won’t just lose the life he’s been given.
He might lose himself.
An epic fantasy adventure set in a steampunk (gaslamp) world infused with magic (magipunk), featuring coming-of-age, self-discovery, found family, and rising stakes.
Four books available, with more on the way.

I maginative
Fantasy is all about the real meanings behind the action and plot. This is one of those novels that kept me interested by the clever use of characterization and imaginative imagery of tools that are both futuristic and archaic. Underneath the surface are the old concepts of good and evil and the power that self interest has over the moral and just. It is not a tragedy, but a subtle comedy that is at play in mankind and a satisfying read. Saying that, there is a point in the story tripped me up with the use of grammar portrayed a single person but used multiple adjectives such as they as opposed to his/her which can distract from the even flow of the action. But I nit pick!
