Only Mastery of Magic offers Absolute Power!Magic coexists with technology on a planet which perfectly mirrors Earth until an anomaly in May 1940. Brutal Nazi regimes currently rule our twin world, and the fire-wielding Blood-SS, who command dark arts first unleashed by humanity's most ancient civilisation, ruthlessly crush any defiance in a burning fist of terror.The last hope for freedom surprisingly comes from a present-day guild of online gamers, a downtrodden band of misfits scattered about occupied London. When these reluctant heroines and heroes seemingly stumble upon deadly arcane powers of their own, excitement at playing real-life swords and sorcery is soon overwhelmed by fear of the Blood-SS hunting them. A perilous resistance plot beckons, whispering promises of gruesomely fatal outcomes without pixelated resurrections.Yet other forces are at work, convoluted plans conceived decades earlier finally bearing rancid fruit. Neither new-found powers nor unexpected bravery will be enough to keep the group of friends alive. In the end, only events from almost eighty years before, desperate valour in the face of an ultimate evil, might save them then truly challenge tyranny's reign.While conjured flames were laying waste to Allied armies during World War II, did a ragged platoon of American soldiers uncover a hidden weakness possessed by their black-robed enemies? Was a roguish British spy, aided by a feisty academic with magical secrets of her own, somehow responsible for stealing the Legend Scrolls before SS scientists could fully master the Fourth Art's malevolent sorcery?One man, rescued from destruction by a twist of fate, will oppose them all. In his mind, the old gods have preserved him to be their weapon, and in his hand, a terrible conflagration hungers like summoned death incarnate.The war may appear long-lost, but the final battle has not truly begun...Of Modern Magic and the First Dragon includes: massed tanks fighting fire mages, a comprehensive magic system, twin Japanese gamer-girls kicking ass, a writhing sackful of plot twists, some tough-as-nails American soldiers, horrifying rituals, a genius with attitude (who is too damn sexy for her own good), mass murder, an unreasonably handsome killer, merciless school bullies, a psychopathic Nazi lesbian, hackers, more than a thousand hours of research on World War II, torture, lashings of sometimes luscious yet sometimes nasty sex, ferocious street gangs, twelve years of research into on-line gaming (definitely research rather than a glorious drain for life to trickle down), revenge, an epic battle of good versus evil set amidst a dystopian future, panic attacks, characters you might recognise from your own MMORPG guild or gaming clan, betrayal, a midnight Gothic graveyard of unexpected deaths, rape, a dragon so terrifying spare pants are recommended, staggering bravery, true love, and a generous sprinkling of very, very, very tasteless jokes.Of Modern Magic and The First Dragon is book one in The Legend Scrolls series.
