Overview
The book is for readers that love an adventure and being transported to another land. A land of magic and wonder. A land that is changing around the reader and the characters in the story. This is a fast pace story where the reader will travel with Flint and his fellow students as they become Wizards and protectors of the land. Flint has been selected to be a student of the greatest Wizard in the land, Lorfan. Flint is the youngest in his family. Neither Flint nor his family had a clue of what to do with Flint after school until Lorfan paid him and his parents a visit. Flint was to become one of five students that Lorfan would train. From the moment that Flint left his comfortable home in White Water his life was changed. For now, he was a wizard in training in a world that was rapidly changing. Orc raids on the northern lands were becoming more common and rumors of other monsters roaming the land were becoming common. The book follows Flint and his fellow students on their travels across the land while they are trained by Lorfan and other wizards in the art of magic. Flint meets not only his fellow students Ramon, Elizabeth, May and Malloric. The students travel the land meeting and being trained by other wizards and witches. Flint who has only once left his little town of White Water is amazed by the vastness of the lands that Lorfan has traveled to and the sights that he sees while traveling with Lorfan and his fellow students. Flint visits towns that have only been dots on maps. He fights monsters that he thought were just myth's and meets magical creatures that help him on his way. Flint learns to judge others not by their size or the color of their skin but by their heart. Flint realizes that some of the most important lessons in life he learned back home, respect for himself and others and to treat all creatures as he would want to be treated.

About the author
Kevin is an engineer with over 30 years of experience working in the aerospace industry. The first book he published is "The Professional Skills Handbook for Engineers and Technical Professionals". The Wizards Wars series is the first non-fictional endeavor. Kevin has wanted to write this book since high school and has kept notebooks and scraps of paper that were just ideas for a story. The first inspiration for the book came from reading J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series coupled with stories about mythology and ancient civilizations.
