I am so delighted to join in the Blog Tour for for Sorcery Reborn by the fabulous Steve McHugh. I was delighted to see an email asking if I would like to be part of the the Tour for this new series – The Rebellion Chronicles, it has links to the last series The Avalon Chronicles and also Hellequin. But don’t worry if you have not read all the previous books as this is the start of the next chapter if you like and so you will soon be brought up to speed.

I would like to thanks Anne at Random Things Tours for my spot and also a huge thanks to Steve for my signed review copy xx

He doesn’t need a weapon. He is the weapon.

After losing his powers in an epic battle between good and evil, former sorcerer Nate Garrett finds himself living as a humble human in Clockwork, Oregon. While the world thinks Nate is dead, his friends continue to fight against Avalon and the evil it’s intent on spreading.

Avalon’s forces turn up in Clockwork, and Nate’s frustration grows with every passing day his magic doesn’t return. He finds himself trying to stop Avalon’s plans while hiding from enemies who would destroy everything in their path to see him dead.

Avalon’s darkness begins to threaten the people Nate cares about, and an old nemesis returns; magic or no magic, he has no choice but to fight. But will Nate see his magical powers reborn before the entire town—and everyone he loves—is destroyed?

I had previously read the Avalon Chronicles by this author and I absolutely loved it. So when I saw there was a Blog Tour for a new series I was eager to get on board.

Sorcery Reborn is a brilliant book that is action packed from start to finish. The main protagonist is Nate, he had lost his powers and was now in hiding in the town of Clockwork. Only a select few know he is alive and the less people know of him the better.

While the bulk of this story is about Nate and what is going on in and around the town, there is also a secondary story line. This one involves Layla and a small group who are in another realm working against the forces of Avalon.

So yes this is a new series, but one that still has links with the previous ones. I do think that having a list of characters and what role they play listed at the front of the book is a great idea. One because it is a great memory jogger and two it gives the tiniest glimpse as to what or rather who, a new reader to the series can expect.

Right from the get go, this book is fabulous and full of action, mystery and intrigue. As Nate worries about when he will get his powers back and if they will return in time to help in the fight against Avalon, he also has some new comers to deal with. They seem hell bent on causing trouble for Nate and his friends.

The author weaves a fabulous world of mythological beings and legends from folk lore into his stories. He has an ability to take a any number of gods, deities, dwarfs, were-beasts and give them very unique and memorable characteristics and traits.

This is a brilliant start to a new series and as I am so glad that there is more to come. The fight against good and evil is one that spans the centuries and this series brings characters ancient legend, religion and myth into a modern world. What can mere humans do when they are confronted with the powers of the gods? Just as well humans are protected by the likes of Nate and Layla as well as a whole host of fabulous other characters.

This is a fantasy series that, if the previous one is anything to go by, will be just as action-packed and be brilliant reading. It already has that addictive feel and in case you wondered whether I liked Sorcery Reborn… yep I loved it and yep I would absolutely recommend it.

Here is the link to Amazon so you can check out Steve’s books.

Steve’s been writing from an early age, his first completed story was done in an English lesson. Unfortunately, after the teacher read it, he had to have a chat with the head of the year about the violent content and bad language. The follow up ‘One boy and his frog’ was less concerning to his teachers and got him an A.

It wasn’t for another decade that he would start work on a full length novel, the result of which is Crimes Against Magic.

He was born in a small village called Mexborough, South Yorkshire, but now lives with his wife and three young daughters in Southampton.
