In the Age of Jazz, Jack is a failed wizard. With the Great War lost, the Free States of America wander as lost as Jack himself. Who needs magic in the industrial age? Wizards are only scapegoats for those who ruined the empire, portrayed as villains of the people. Better to stay obscure. Better to play smart. Better to just be another bird on the street.
But the time for a new magic isn’t later, it’s now, and Jack’s the only man brilliant enough to solve the problem. But Jack’s power has always been blind, and if he’s to bring the vision of a new age, then somehow he must open his mystic eye.
