Light & Dark: The Awakening of the Mageknight

Danny Firoth is an average thirteen-year-old who finds himself at the beginning of his eighth-grade year, struggling with some of the more common concerns that plague a boy of his age: bullies, homework, and his mother. Sabrina Drake is the new girl. She is beautiful and spellbinding but carries a fantastic secret. Accepted into the White Rock Academy of Illumination, a school for young Squires destined to become Knights of the Light and battle the forces of the Dark with magical weapons called Bondeds, Danny joins his five closest friends in the training of their lives.

Honed in the techniques of blade work by an Elvin swordmaster and educated by a colorful assortment of knightly instructors, Danny, and his friends are placed on the path to becoming knighted members of the Light. However, the Dark may have other plans as they unveil a sinister plot in this fantastic tale of dragon-riding adventure, sword-wielding action, and coming-of-age drama.

Light and Dark: The Awakening of the Mageknight is the first book in the Light and Dark Series, a sequence of epic fantasy, adventure novels that cater to those with imaginative minds, a love of dragons, magic, and sword-wielding action. The work is populated with engaging characters, urban settings of fiction and non-fiction locals, and a magical cast of races, ranging from Elves, Dwarves, Dragonics, Angelics, Gods, and Creators. Perhaps the primary draw is the concept of Bondeds, weapons of great power that are forged from the essence of previous Knights of the Light and paired with newly introduced squires to combat an ancient and dark evil.

-KIRKUS REVIEW, "Debut author Fife takes the familiar concept of light versus dark and applies bumper-to-bumper polish. Fife's robust, psychologically nuanced prose may appeal more to older teens. Danny's Ghostsight and Fife's concept of the Bondeds are fascinating; turning a clever mystery into a propulsive series opener. A new action-oriented fantasy series that fans can't miss!"
