Description: 

This is the Age of Magick. It is the Age of City-States and Magick Gangs and the Post-Post Apocalypse.

Our hero, a cowboy named Lev, strolls into Old York City looking for something no one's ever seen before. He's picked a bad time. The forces of Hyper-Priestess Isimar Rothschild, the Queen of the Chicago Conglomerate, have attacked Old York. The only person who stands in Isimar's way is Gregor Steiner, leader of the Red Double Xs, the magick gang that protects the city from foreign invaders.

​Lev didn't come looking for a fight, but that doesn't mean he isn't prepared for one. Caught in the midst of a decade-old war between two powerful gangs, Lev has to figure out where his loyalties lie, if he has any to speak of. And he has to do it all quick-like…

What others are saying about the book.:

“CITIES OF MAGICK by Jakob Free and Will Tempest is the jaw-dropping grungy fantasy book your body needs. I've read it and it's well worth your time and your shillings.”
— Alex Paknadel (Death of Doctor Strange: The Avengers, Marvel Comics)

“Enjoyed it immensely! It's a post-apocalyptic "Gangs of New York" meets "Lord of the Rings!" The unnamed main character (shades of Eastwood's Man With No Name!) is a reluctant hero in the very best way possible.”
— Karl Kesel (Impossible Jones, Superboy DC Comics)

“This feels like the start of something really interesting. There is a bit of a wild west feel tacked onto a culture that is ‘steampunk but with magic instead of steam.’ Cities of Magick has big ideas, fun characters, and looks spectacular!”
— Dan Newland, The Comic Book Yeti
