Luke Matthews is an ordinary freshmen in college living in the sleepy midwestern town of Cedar Creek. He spends his days going to school and working, at least until an incident one evening brings to light near impossible healing abilities. Luke is suddenly thrust into a world of magic, monsters, myths, and legends.To help make sense of this new power within him, Luke travels to Netherfall Academy and learns that he is a Magician, someone that is capable of manipulating the magic that flows through the very fabric of reality. If Luke wants to survive, he'll not only have to learn to control his newfound abilities but also plunge himself head first into a dangerous new world. Community college was so much easier.
