New Release: Clan of Midnight by Richard Phillip Hoffman

A novel set in a supernatural Southern California where magic is real, immortals live side by side with mortals in open society, and one immortal magician finds himself in the center of a murder mystery that connects into a past he didn't even know he had.

Kellan Publishing will be releasing Richard Phillip Hoffman’s fantasy novel Clan of Midnight on May 3rd, 2015 and the prelaunch party will be held on his website on April 30th.

Clan of Midnight is the story is of immortal magician David Zane, one of the first to take advantage of the society’s acceptance of immortals and return to his home county in Southern California with an attempt at reentering the life that was stolen from him twenty five years before. Shortly afterward the police draw him into a murder by magic investigation they are not remotely equipped to deal with.

From the author, "A character, no matter what great powers they have or how good or evil they may well be, is only as interesting as the summit of their realism. I wrote this story with the understanding that where and when a person came from would deeply affect their personality and the internal politics of their personal society. Aspects of race, gender, sexuality and class all play enough of a part to pull my tale into wondrous unpredictable directions making it different from anything I've ever written."

Zane’s assistance puts him into the crosshairs of not one killer but many and to survive he utilizes the skills and tricks he had developed as a mercenary over the last two and a half decades, which includes delving back into the dying supernatural underworld to treat with old friends and enemies alike. From there he soon finds himself in a violent game of cat and mouse that inevitably places him, as the only magician the police can use or even contact, as the only thing standing between the potential victims and a murderous cult.
