Recent months in New Philadelphia have been pleasantly monster-free, allowing Edan Johnson to focus on launching the band’s new album. Music brought hope, something the world’s dwindling population desperately needed. But when a mysterious promotion company sends the A-Chords on tour and the audience splits into opposing factions, it’s clear that gods and dark forces are once again meddling.
Ed’s command of music and magic grows strong, but an arrogant goddess decrees he must not interfere. Even his own sister scolds him for casting spells. But Ed connects with the band’s free-spirited groupies and vows to keep them safe from the more sinister patrons flocking to “The Company’s” backstage events.
More hangs in the balance than the simple corruption of a few fans. These happy, bright people could be the salvation of the human race, yet are being drawn in like sheep. Someone or something stalks the tour, and evil lurks in the heart of Old Milwaukee.
Magic, monsters, and kindred spirits keep Ed and his friends scrambling to discover what’s going on behind the scenes, but an improbable friendship just might be the key to their survival.

Jim Stein couldn’t get enough SciFi and Fantasy growing up. Libraries, drugstores, and the bookstore at the mall were favorite haunts to hunt for exciting covers and fantastic stories. He rarely found himself “between books,” and still loves to let his imagination soar with a good read.
Tangled type bars and stubborn ribbon on his dad’s Royal typewriter gave rise to Jim’s first ill-conceived attempts at high fantasy.
After two degrees in computer science and three decades as a naval officer, Jim is back at it—albeit this time on a laptop with wireless keyboard and a 39-inch monitor.
