Felix Faust & Byron Bishop: Two-Book Bundle
This two-book bundle includes the first two novels from Dexter Morgenstern's series, The Arcane Insurrection.
Book one - Felix Faust:
"Felix Faust is a nineteen-year-old semi-genius who has just been accepted into a prestigious college. He discovered telekinesis at an early age and has used it discreetly for his own entertainment. Felix finds himself displeased and malcontent with everything he encounters in the school, except for one student. This other student shares Felix’s gift, and is much stronger, capable of abilities Felix never thought possible. Now a new door opens for Felix as he is mentored and develops his psychic abilities, but this door also brings danger as malevolent forces set their eyes upon him. Tragedy and destruction follow Felix, leaving him no choice but to continue growing and fight back, but danger follows him every step of the way, and failure means death..."
Book two - Byron Bishop:
"Villified by the community as a notorious delinquent, Byron has spent his best years as a petty criminal in order to provide for himself. He isn’t alone, however… Byron has a secret companion who acts as a second conscience, a second set of eyes, and a second pair of hands. He has Baron, whom he can only describe as a brother, a twin, and a ghost. With Baron’s help, Byron joins a criminal syndicate, which he sees as the first step toward a better life, but he is soon in over his head when a sinister group of assassins with their own supernatural gifts encounters and forcibly recruits him. With the body-count rising, Byron desperately tries to find a way out, but he and Baron don’t always see eye-to-eye. How can Byron hope to escape and wash the blood from his hands, when the loyalty of his own conscience is compromised?"

About the author
Dexter Morgenstern
8 books149 followersBorn in North Carolina and raised as a homeschooled army brat, Dexter’s early life spanned continents, from South Korea to Colorado. Along the way, he learned to channel his neurodivergence into discipline and creativity, finding focus through writing, music, and martial arts.
He published his first novel at seventeen, and by the time he graduated with a dual degree in Marketing and Business Administration, he had several more under his belt. His stories are often dark, morally complex, and mythically charged—reflect a lifelong fascination with myth, faith, and the gray space between good and evil.
Outside of writing, Dexter is an accomplished Muay Thai fighter, kickboxer, and national titleholder, as well as a coach. He’s performed across the Pacific Northwest both onstage and in the ring, and he’s just as comfortable behind a bass guitar as he is throwing elbows under pressure.
When he's not writing, he's slapping bass. When he's not doing that, he's in the ring slapping face.
His ultimate goal? Crippling civilization beneath the boots of sentient robots—one creative project at a time.
