Dark Coming of Age Story Where
a Drug Enhances an Orphan’s Feeble Magic

Slice

Half orphaned and struggling to survive, a broken young man risks everything to save his family with a drug that enhances his feeble powers. With mounting obstacles threatening and surrounding him at every turn, Tzun fends off one enemy only to discover his gravest challenge is worse than anything he could have imagined. When confronted with a personal nightmare, will he find a way to turn back or become the very thing he once despised?

With a gritty, sweeping tone, engaging prose, and a dark flare that fans of Stephen King have learned to crave, Slice is a coming of age story that blends urban fantasy with the criminal underground.

Interesting and Well-paced
Written in 3rd person pov with the occasional thought bubble of the main character, it reads a bit like a graphic novel without the illustrations ...the down spiral into addiction was well described and the storyline was interesting and well-paced.
