Publisher's Synopsis
Packed with mystery and fantastical creatures, Jay Michael Night takes us on a journey into a magical world right beside our very own with his new epic coming-of-age tale: The Source of Death.
Mikey Black is cursed. Anyone near him starts to get sick, deathly sick.
When he was only a child, Mikey's parents were murdered by monsters with glowing eyes. That night, something awoke inside of him, and miraculously, he survived.Orphaned and alone, Mikey never lasted more than a month at any of his foster homes. He didn't blame any of the families, though. They'd figure out there was something wrong with him.
Things finally started to look up when a kind-hearted mailman named Arthur offered to adopt Mikey. Strangely, Arthur seemed unaffected by the aura of death. But his new foster father had a secret. He and Mikey were from a different world.
After an accidental headbutt at school ends in an attack with strange magic, Mikey begins to unravel the mystery of who-and what, he really is.
Here is what some reviewers are saying: "Will definitely stand in line for book #2!" "If you love Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and anything supernatural...you will love this book." "I loved this world and was sad to leave it. Bring on a book 2!"
