*THIS NOVEL HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED YET, AND DOESN'T HAVE A DEFINITIVE TITLE. Writing pending professional edits.
In a far-flung mining town where magic is feared, Tommy can bring objects to life, bestowing free will upon toys, trees and beyond. When his powers grow out of control, causing a living pickaxe to hurt his father, he is convinced magic is evil. Tommy sets out on a journey in search of the arcane weaponsmith who could help him subdue his powers, aka his mother.
After Tommy reaches Capital, a militarized city steeped in magic, a greater danger appears in the form of Cecile, the dragon-riding princess.
Cecile yearns for an age of peace, but her only path to attain it is to overthrow her mother and become ruler in her place. This requires her to lay siege to Capital and obliterate the mystical barracks where Tommy’s mother lives.
Can Tommy prevent Cecile from harming his mother, and will any of them survive the chaos unleashed by their magic?

About
Daniel Teszler is a creative soul whose goal is set: conjure fun, fantastical, and meaningful stories — creating moments that make you stop to think, taking the seed of that thought and centering magical worlds around it.
Whether through written word or interacting one-on-one, he believes that fun is a crucial part of what makes an experience worth having. "Start by having fun, and all other good things will fall into place."
Mixing play with deep thinking is a way of life for him, as is singing karaoke after midnight and inventing dance moves in his kitchen. When he's not doing any of that, he sometimes plays roles with the moving stage of the Trendart Theater Company, getting immersed in the world of make-believe. The smiles and laughter of hundreds of children radiating through the auditorium energize him almost as much as unraveling the complex backstories of villains in his novels.
