The Warlock's Curse
by Hobson, M. K.
THE YEAR IS 1910. Eighteen-year-old Will Edwards has landed a
prestigious apprenticeship at Detroit’s Tesla Industries, the most
advanced scientific research center in the United States. It’s a plum
prize for a young man who dreams of a career in the new science of
Otherwhere Engineering.But his father doesn’t want him to go. And he won’t tell him why.Determined
to get there by any means necessary, Will finds unexpected support
along the way. His old friend Jenny Hansen—daughter of a San Francisco
timber baron—is eager to help him for reasons of her own. And so is his
estranged brother Ben, who he hasn’t seen in over ten years.But
running away turns out to be the easy part. On the first full moon after
his eighteenth birthday, Will is stricken by a powerful magic—a
devastating curse laid upon his ancestors by the malevolent sangrimancer
Aebedel Cowdray. Will must find a way to control the magic that
possesses him—or the vengeful warlock’s spirit will destroy everything
and everyone he loves.
