James A McVean, Changelings Book1 Dragons & Demons

Changelings by James A McVean is an imaginative, exciting and action-packed fantasy story, about a young pickpocket living by his wits and hovering on the brink of manhood. Jack the Hawk, as he is known, picks the pocket of a wandering mage, and his prize changes his life in a way he could never have imagined, revealing a hidden talent he had never even dreamed of.

As Jack struggles to come to terms with his new gift, he discovers a whole new world of myth and magic existing alongside the mundane world of his youth. Jacks learns that both worlds are facing a terrible threat, and he has been chosen to save them from destruction. If he fails in his mission, both magical and mundane worlds will perish under the rending talons and teeth of a vast and evil demon hoard.

From the very first page, Jack embarks on a journey that many readers can identify with, as he leaves the carefree ignorance of youth, and discovers the sometimes frightening realities of adulthood and the responsibilities that go with it.

Changelings combines myth and magic with self discovery, and a classic clash of good and evil, binding them together in a heroic, action-packed story with strong, believable characters, sword and sorcery battles, and a fantastic finale.
