The Sorcerer's Curse - Peter Gulgowski

Forever chased by fate, Alaric Skye has been hunted long before he took his first breath. The life he's never known and been unknowingly protected from finds him on the eve of his eighteenth birthday.

Thrust headfirst into a world of magic and the supernatural, Alaric learns there is much more to him and his mysterious past than he could ever imagine. But greater than the mysteries of his past, are predictions for a dark future that have fallen into the hand of the enemy, a mysterious cult known as the Shadow Knights. These predictions have marked Alaric as a weapon to acquire for their own use, and they will stop at nothing to ensure this future becomes true.

In Crystal City, magic is real and so are the dangers lurking amongst its gilded shadows. The fight for its future--and Alaric's--begins tonight.

The Sorcerer's Curse is the first in a planned young-adult urban fantasy trilogy.
