Book excerpt: Jonothon Wyer trembled beneath his desk as the sirens blared their dreaded warning: Magic is coming! His entire life, he had been told to fear the wizards from across the Dawn, but never did his small town expect to be the epicenter of the next world war of machines against magic! Sickly and friendless, Jono's only hope was to enlist into the mechanized army of the Dark End. He was promised that machines will make him strong enough to be the hero he read about in books. Jono never questioned his fate until his discovery of an ancient relic revealed that a wizard was living with them all along! What is a true hero to do, when good and evil depended on which side of the border you were born? Caught between the politics, prophesy and prejudice of a fantastical world drowning in fear, Jono must dare to question everything he was raised to believe in order to prevent the key to controlling the sun itself from falling into the wrong hands. As living shadows of the Dark Empress hunt to gain the key's terrible power and the Sage of Ages rallies spell-casting knights to prepare for war, Jono must race for answers across a planet mired in a rusting history, from the shimmering towers of Caer Midus to the dank caverns of the Windom Academy. With the help of a chipper mechgineer and a chemix caster, Jono must use all his wit and courage to reveal the horrible truth that lurks behind the mask of blind faith before the stories both sides tell themselves lead to their own destruction. Dark & Day is a journey of discovering and defining who you are and what you believe in, even when the world around you has already made up its mind.
