He started writing simply because he decided he wanted to, and fantasy is what he writes.
Iona
Iona has lived most of her life in a world where magic is tightly controlled. When an ancient artifact wakes a rare power in her, the ability to amplify other people's enchantments, she becomes a fugitive from the Aethelguard, the order that keeps magic for itself. She escapes into the fog of the Shadowfen and trains under a mentor who has lost faith in the order. As she learns the history of the seals that hold humanity's power back, she finds her survival is tied to something much older, and hungry.
The audiobook is narrated by Jason Michael Mann.
A man who lies knows the truth. A man who's convinced doesn't look for it.
Coming soon
Jared McGuire's first audiobook is on the way
