About this eBook

 In The Enemy of an Enemy, darkness came to the Empire, and magic was born from the bowels of men’s fears. The great and mighty Imperial Navy had to face and overcome unspeakable horrors. In The Academy, fledgling wizards were gathered and trained to fight back and keep the light, while the darkness laid in wait, biding its time and silently gathering its forces. Now as warriors of light, those wizards must begin to make a stand against the rising tide of darkness or watch their realm be overcome! 

Shadow must build and train a team of wizards to venture out of the safety of their fortress to discover the source of the strength behind the powerful pirate forces that have taken control of the majority of space around Alpha Academy. This quest will put them on the road to discover a dark truth about their realm’s past that none had ever even imagined. 

The Lost Tales of Power is an open-ended series of Sci-Fi/Fantasy books set in a vast multiverse featuring a mixture of traditional fantasy and science fiction elements.

Ratings and reviews

A tale of the powers of light and darkness unlike any other. I will tell any real details but if you enjoy fantasy or scifi stories then you must read this book and all the others. It is well worth the time and money.

Still not keen on this story line, but giving it the benefit of the doubt, no matter how hard I try, wizards and space battles just doesn't work for me.

Book number two in the series. Mixing space military with fantasy in a very creative way. I like how the author switches points of view throughout to keep things fresh.
