M Joseph Murphy

Joseph Murphy was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. He earned his geekdom at an early age. He read X-Men comics from the age of 8 and it only went downhill from there.

As a teenager he wrote short stories and wanted to be the next Stephen King. Instead of horror, however, he kept writing fantasy stories. After surviving high school as a goth with a purple mohawk, he studied English and Creative Writing at the University of Windsor.

He lives in Windsor, ON (right across the stream from Detroit, Michigan) with his husband, an elderly cat, and a shy-but-friendly ghost.

Summary:

Three hundred years ago, a group of heroes imprisoned a dark god and his lieutenants in a hell dimension known as the Void.

Since then, the people of Maghe Sihre have lived in relative peace. Now, a secret war brews at the edge of civilization. Tadgh Dooley, a young man from Earth, is burdened with a dangerous and impossible power. He has the ability to warp the fabric of reality, to make his wishes come true. One wish binds him to the spirit of a demon cat. Now he is a shapeshifter, a werecat. The armies of evil see him as a weapon. They will not rest until they control him. A mysterious force transports Tadgh to Maghe Sihre and, in doing so, ruptures the Void. Worse, each time he uses his ability, the Void cracks open a little further. Prisoners start to escape. If Tadgh can't control his power, he risks shattering the Void completely, unleashing the dark god on an unprepared world.

Dylan's life in the spellster tower has everything he should want: magical knowledge, safety from the King's Hounds and frequent clandestine affairs with women. All at the cost of his freedom. So when the chance to leave the tower—even as a leashed weapon for the King's Army—arises, he seizes it. When his first scouting mission goes awry, Dylan is left alone in a hostile world with the tower a distant beacon of safety. Only the flirtatious Tracker, an elven man whose very presence awakens Dylan's long-repressed desire, can help him return to his old life before the crown discovers his unleashed status.

Dylan must rely on Tracker to protect him even as everything he thought he knew begins to unravel around them. *This second edition shares the main storyline with In Love and Death and has additional content from Tracker’s pov.*
