By Invocation Only: a Hexcraft novel

by Patrick Thomas

THE HEX FACTOR... The next magí has been found. Someone with the ability to use every kind of magic has the potential to be the most powerful person on Earth. Good, evil, and all points in between are trying to win the new power player to their side and not everyone is going to play nice. The problem is Gary is only a kid.
Hex doesn't like kids but when a guardian angel asks the cursed magí and a nun to allow the powers that be to make pitches to the kid, they agree to stand between the new magí and governments, gods, creatures of nightmare and even the Devil himself. With his parents missing, Gary will be forced to make a choice on what kind of person he will become and it will not only impact the rest of his life but the world itself.
Hex is going to have his hands full convincing the powers that be that the only way they can make their case to the kid is... By Invocation Only.
