Hunters in the Night

The Nightcrafters #1

by Ramsey Isler

Real magic can only be done in the dark. That's the very first lesson in the long, dangerous education of a nightcrafter. Kal Kai, a seemingly ordinary millennial in New York City, was once a promising nightcrafter-in-training until he discovered the dangerous consequences of magic that put innocents in harm's way.

Now, years after his banishment from the nightcrafter ranks, a chance encounter with a powerful government agent gives him the opportunity he's been waiting for. He now has a chance to stop the reckless use of magic for good, thanks in large part to a brilliant young engineer who shows Kal that science can counter and enhance magic beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

But the masters of the dark will not give up their power without a fight, and Kal's most formidable challenge will be the same man who taught him everything he knows.

About the author

For much of my life I wrote computer code, not stories. I was fairly successful at it, and I had a lot of fun doing it. But my true passion was writing books and stories that would inspire and ignite the light of creativity in others, just as my favorite storytellers had inspired me in my youth. I'm still in the early phases of my journey as an author, but it has been quite an adventure so far.

I write contemporary fantasy, epic fantasy, and sci-fi. My books The Remortal, Ghosts of ARCADIA, The Nightcrafters Trilogy, and Clockworkers are available on various digital book stores.

My favorite things include gadgets, science fiction, and cats.

I liked the storyline in this book, in overall it was a bit weird, but also acceptable. Kal's was a likable main character. How he acted and behaved was pulling and real. I liked what Ramsey Isler done in this book.

Love different magic systems and especially like the way this one explores the connection of Rift magic to science.

I was prepared to be underwhelmed since I bought this book via Bookbub (I've gotten some stinkers) but I loved the characters, descriptions and the "magic" so much I bought the rest of the series to read last night. I read it in 2-3 sittings.
