When Shadow, a powerless mage, chooses exile to preserve family honor, he doesn’t expect a mysterious call to defeat psionic, camouflaging dragons. Neither does he expect those beasts to offer him a glimpse into a life wielding a mage’s power. Tasked with uncovering the secret behind magic’s evolution, Shadow leads unfriendly comrades through treachery, vampiric vines, ancient disembodied mages, and the legendary Mists of Ishmandool where few escape with their sanity.

When Shadow unveils a likely solution, it may be too late. Even if it’s not, it risks the complete annihilation of his people and worse, it’s unproven.

With strong female characters, a dark M. Night Shyamalan twist, dragons on steroids, a Brandon Sanderson-esque tight plot, and prodigious world building, Unproven is destined to satiate readers who enjoy sword and sorcery, mythical creatures, ghosts, dark fantasy, psychological thrillers, and Dungeons & Dragons.
