What Is the Weight of Magic?

The Books of Ku Borfutukeshti: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Magic has no real weight, but it felt to Ku like it's a great weight sitting right on her shoulders.

Everybody thought persistent magic was a myth. Then Ku Tementen, a slave woman, arrived in Darmis, the imperial capital, to study magic. Shensta, her teacher, immediately recognized her abilities, but tried to keep them hidden until he could arrange her freedom. When she entered Vur's Competition, and not only won first place, but was awarded the honorific Borfutukeshti (Grand Magician) by the emperor himself, that wasn't easy. Then, when her master came to retrieve her, she fled to her homeland, and the emperor's personal magician followed her with instructions to either capture her or kill her. Instead, he ended up her prisoner, as she led a slave uprising, hoping her powers would be strong enough to defeat the most powerful army in the world.

Author

Dennis Paul Himes is on his third career. His first was a short-lived one as a math teacher. His second was a long successful one as a programmer. His third is writing. He has actually been writing for many years—his first novel was started in the 1980s, set aside, and then revived in the 2020s - but now it's his job.

Himes started his life in Ohio, but has lived almost all of his life since the age of nine in Connecticut. He currently resides in Vernon with his wife Maure. He has three children, numerous grandchildren, and a great-grandchild scattered throughout the Northeast U.S.

When not writing Himes hikes, plays chess, and creates languages.
