A Wizard Restored

Some stories refuse to stay buried.

When a boy's body is discovered drifting in a small boat, the mystery ripples outward through lives already tangled in the unseen currents of the Evermore. Questions multiply, secrets surface, and the truth waiting beneath the water may prove more dangerous than anyone suspects.

Darke has spent years walking the hidden roads between worlds, doing the quiet work of the Evermore-standing against the darkness most people never know exists. But when a terrible wrong is uncovered and innocent lives hang in the balance, even a seasoned agent must decide how far he is willing to go to set things right.

And far from it all, the wizard Azael the Sly stands at the end of his strength. Hunted by the rising power of the Dark Queen and burdened by the man he once was, he faces a choice he has avoided his entire life: cling to his pride... or surrender his future to the Author who has been writing his story all along.

A Wizard Restored brings the Tales of the Evermore trilogy to its powerful conclusion-where long-buried truths come to light, broken things are made whole, and even the slyest of wizards may yet discover what it means to be redeemed.

J. Patrick Lemarr, the firstborn son of a Southern Baptist minister and a teacher-turned-counselor, grew up in Texas and rural Oklahoma, escaping into comic books and children's fiction. After years of channeling both personal loss and wonder into poetry, he turned to his first love-genre fiction-building imaginative worlds through fantasy and horror. His works include Shadow Plays, All That Waits in the Night, The Christmas Cabin, and The Willing, The Wounded, and The Wizard, which introduces his recurring characters Dylan Drake, Darke, and Azael. Today, Lemarr lives in Indiana with his wife and children, crafting stories for Write Crowd Publishing and sharing exclusive content with his Patreon supporters.
