WHEN YOUR FATHER'S A HIGH-TECH WARLOCK, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GROW UP -- THE HARD WAY.

Even the son of a warlock gets restless sometimes. And when Magnus sets off to see the world (and get out of his father's shadow), his dad, Rod Gallowglass, and his robot horse, Fess, can't resist trailing behind. Someone's got to protect young Magnus from peril-to his body and his heart.

First running afoul of a vindictive old witch with a lustful eye, then getting caught up in the intrigue of a small, isolated village dominated by a harsh theocracy, the Warlock's son is forced to fall back on his inexperienced diplomatic and espionage skills rather than his magical or martial talents.

But Magus is most vulnerable to the hazards of love and sex. From bored noblewomen (with jealous husbands) looking for a new boy toy, to exotic faeries wanting to spirit him away to Tir Chlis, to normal (but beautiful) mortals seeking to use him rather than love him, Magnus faces threats no parent can shield him from.

Despite his dad's best intentions, when Magnus is faced with the worst dangers and responsibilities of growing up, he's on his own.
