A brand new novel from acclaimed screenwriter Patrick Cirillo, Tears of the Sun starring Bruce Willis, and other movies, and the author of the novels LORA, Wyatt & the Duke, and The Lie That Kills.
For 1500 years, witches have hidden their secrets from the public, passing their occult skills down through the generations as they waited for a time when they could rise up and seize control from ordinary man, never again to be persecuted for being different--for being superior. For being EXTRAORDINARY. Now, it's their time.
The revolution is seen through the eyes of the Wyllt family. They are a secretive, powerful, and hyper-ambitious family living among the cream of Los Angeles and world society. They are also a woefully dysfunctional clan whose greed and unbridled ambition may be a threat to all of their kind. Will they ultimately thrive? Will they even survive? Or will their ambition doom not only themselves, but all of their kind?
MAGIC IS IN THE AIR... AND THAT SHOULD SCARE YOU.
"A MASTERFUL PORTRAIT OF DYSFUNCTION AND DARK AMBITION." - Amazon Review.
"Patrick Cirillo has crafted a book so intricately interwoven with intrigue, drama, and magic, that I almost forgot I was reading," - Goodreads Review
In the Dark Ages, people knew that magic existed all around them. Wizards served kings, witches could cast powerful spells, oracles could see the future, astral travel was an art, and ethnic mysticism existed in various forms in all cultures.
As the Dark Ages gave way to a more enlightened time, the God-fearing claimed magic as their sacred gift. The Inquisitions began. They hunted the purveyors of magic as devil-worshipping blasphemers. Many were burned at the stake or drowned in gruesome public spectacles. The Extraordinary Souls who escaped the purges learned to live secretly, passing their dark powers from one generation to the next. They were raised on fear, mistrust, and hate.
Now, in this modern age, people believe magic is little more than a man in a tuxedo pulling rabbits from a hat. The Extraordinary Souls are re-emerging. They are no longer content to live in the shadows. Rather, they shall lord over the ordinary.
Among the most powerful of these new threats are the Wyllts, a wealthy Los Angeles family that, from the outside, appears no different from many other families of great means. Seen from the inside, however, they are wholly different. Gordon, Krystal, and their five children are steeped in black magic, but with these powers comes immense ambition and remarkable dysfunction. Like any family, they have issues. Unlike any family, their issues can threaten the future of the entire world.
Extraordinary Souls is a continuing domestic drama not unlike The Sopranos. Their ambition, however, is far grander. They intend to shape society to fit their dark vision. Instead of guns, their tool of choice is black magic.
From the author of LORA and the screenwriter of the Bruce Willis hit, "Tears of the Sun" (and other movies) comes a brand new tale of urban mysticism, family dysfunction, and magic.
"Book one in the series is an amazing introduction to the world of Extraordinary Souls and what they will do to protect their existence." - Goodreads Review
