Orphan Mage

The extraordinary debut fantasy adventure novel by Erik Jensen.

"The Balance is shifting, and the Forces of the Dark are massing, led by an immortal Sorcerer who will stop at nothing to see Chaos reign supreme."

ORPHAN MAGE is all the more amazing when you realize that its author, Erik Jensen, is one of our juveniles serving life without parole. Under daunting conditions, Erik has completed several novels, continues composing and practicing his beloved music, and has developed a web site to help others, www.teensintrouble.org.
