About the Book:
In a world born from the ashes of destruction, magic courses through the veins of the land, and technology lurks in the shadows. It’s been 500 years since the Creator and the new gods saved humanity from its own demise, but the Six Kingdoms remain divided—each realm a crucible of power struggles and ancient rivalries. Now, Robert McMatheiss, President of the New Confederation, has set his eyes on their uncharted paradise that promises salvation but will comes at a bloody cost. His ambitions are matched only by the forces willing to defend their magical world from the encroaching Tech Army. As tensions rise, one can’t help but wonder: who will win in a land where sorcery clashes with steel?
In the kingdom of Innitiate, a Princess’s fate intertwines with that of the umanomagi, a group of exiled warriors whose unpredictable magic makes them both saviors and threats. When a monstrous beast strikes fear into her heart and decimates her guard, the umanomagi come to her aid. Yet, with every act of salvation, they raise more questions than answers. What dangers have these strange magic-wielders unleashed upon Innitiate, and what is the true price of their intervention?
Meanwhile, the Cirque di Umanomagi roams the lands, led by the enigmatic Michael York, carrying secrets that could ignite wars. The mysterious coma of their key member, Zach, after a deadly encounter raises the stakes and stirs suspicion. Are the umanomagi harboring dark truths about their past? Are these secrets powerful enough to reshape alliances, break bonds, or even change the course of history itself?
As the New Confederation plots to conquer the Six Kingdoms, their plans face unseen threats. Magic disrupts their technology, and treachery simmers beneath the surface of every alliance. Cricket, a young umanomagi with a traumatic past, becomes a focal point for conflict and intrigue, barely surviving an assassination attempt in the forest. This near-death experience forces him to confront his place within the Cirque and the mysterious powers at play. What hidden threats stalk the umanomagi in the shadows, and who can be trusted in this world where loyalties shift like the wind?
Caught between the ambitions of men and the destructive force of machines, the umanomagi must navigate a path riddled with dangers. The once-thriving Cirque finds itself dragged into a war where their lives and loyalties are put to the ultimate test. The battlefield transforms into a cruel stage where their most feared powers may be their only salvation—or their doom. Will they choose to fight, flee, or carve out a new destiny in a world where both men and monsters vie for control?
The final confrontation between magic and machinery pushes the umanomagi to their limits. Under Sergeant Harlow’s leadership, the troupe becomes a deadly force, but secrets threaten to unravel them from within. As betrayal and scorched earth tactics turn victory into ashes, Harlow must face his darkest decision yet—one that could save or condemn his people forever. The umanomagi stand on the precipice of a new era. But can they forge a future in a world that fears and despises them, or will they find themselves embroiled in another war—this time against those they fight to protect?
"500A.H. War of the Umanomagi" is a relentless tale of war, survival, and the blurred line between hero and monster. The battle and the story is only just beginning.
