Description:
Sleight of hand ... in another land
Stage magician Quinn Bradley has one dream: to headline his own show on the Vegas Strip. And with talent scouts in the audience wowed by his latest performance, he knows he's about to make the big time.
What he doesn't expect is an offer to go on a quest to a place where magic is all too real.
That's how he finds himself in Alissia, a world connected to ours by a secret portal owned by a powerful corporation. He's after an employee who has gone rogue, and that's the least of his problems. Alissia has true magicians ... and the penalty for impersonating one is death. In a world where even a twelve-year-old could beat Quinn in a sword fight, it's only a matter of time until the tricks up his sleeves run out.
