Synopsis

Dalen Pax and the Beads of Fire is a delightfully inventive Fantasy novel, a remarkably touching and insightful coming-of-age story, and a philosophical tour de force.

Dalen Pax is a typical high school misfit who has always wished that magic was real. One fateful night, he found that it was when he risked his life to save Mathias, a man he didn't know. A man with the ability to wield real magic. After their meeting, Mathias enlists Dalen to help him retrieve a powerful artifact known as the Beads of Fire, which connects its wearer to the Fire Jinn, a free-willed divine being that can grant the wish of whoever possesses them.

Once Dalen awakens the Fire Jinn she grants his wish to learn magic and takes him to an enchanted world to teach him the Elements of Reality where he will have to know the truth about magic and power. Of course, it turns out that making wishes can be a rather tricky endeavor, and he quickly discovers that there are two sides to every coin.

The world will need Dalen to be more than he ever imagined or wished he could be. Can he find the truth within himself, and believe in who he is and was always meant to be?
