As I was preparing this post, I discovered that the Cover Reveal I scheduled for last Monday for this book didn’t post. All the post tells me is “Missed Schedule.” So, this is going to be a longer post than I’d intended. It’ll be worth it, I assure you. So, I’m giving a belated Cover Reveal which will lead into a discussion about the Kickstarter for Way of the Wizard. It would’ve one of the better covers I’ve revealed, but alas–but I’m still going to show it.

But before I get to the Kickstarter or anything else, I just wanted to apologize to Michel–I really thought I’d had everything taken care of, but I should’ve checked.

Book Details:

Book Title: Way of the Wizard: Book One by Michael Michel
Genre: Epic Fantasy
Pages: 291 (5×8 Paperback) / 270 (6×9 Hardback)
Release Date: May 21, 2024

About the Book

Even gods have their beginnings.

Mine starts in the chasm between worlds. In the blink of eternity between life and death.

If you wish to follow, let this be your road.

First, join your brethren–those others who seek the Power. They are your allies and the key to your success. They will almost certainly try to kill you.

Second, slay a wizard and claim their topknot. Be smart, be quick, and never hesitate. They’re the most dangerous creatures alive. If destiny does not favor you, your bones will be added to the piles beneath their feet.

Third, acquire the hidden location of the Spirit Gardens. Secrets are worth more than kingdoms. Protect them at all costs or your enemies will win, and you will die.

But above all, never look back. Godhood is the goal.

If you have the courage and ambition to do so, read on.

Your path to power awaits.

The Cover

Way of Wizard Book One Cover

Way of Wizard Book One Back Cover

If you’re the type to buy a book just based on the cover, this is one to get you to open your wallet, right?

The image comes from Nino Is and J Caleb Design handled the cover’s typography and layout. I think they both did a bang up job.

The Kickstarter

The book looks great. The cover is dynamite. The rewards look nifty. Go help kick that start!
