Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former soldier and current combat magician, William Gravel returns to England to exterminate the corrupt occult hierarchy. Magic... the kind of magic that can strip the skin from a screaming man's skull, or direct the path of a shrieking bullet through a maze of city streets. This is not just magic. This is Combat Magic. After carving a bloody path through his fellow members of the Minor Seven, the last thing William Gravel expected was to be welcomed with welcome arms into a much more prestigious ensemble, the Major Seven. But before Gravel can gain acceptance into their ranks, he must complete two tasks: reform the Minor Seven organization that he destroyed, and uncover a murderer within the Major Seven who killed one of their own. Before he's done, the seasoned Combat Magician will make it very clear to Britain's occult hierarchy that the price and penance of atonement will not only be his burden to endure.
