A Mage is Sometimes Late

By E M Peterson

It's never too late to follow your dream of becoming a mage.

Take Benji for example, who has yet to demonstrate any magical aptitude whatsoever and has failed the entrance exam to Thelspoint University thirteen times. He doesn't let that stop him, though, and on his fourteenth try he miraculously shows just enough magic to be granted admission. For a brief moment, it looks like his dream might become a reality.

There's just the small matter of surviving his first year, surrounded by students a decade younger who are more than happy to remind Benji how little magic he has. Add into the mix a run-in with the campus secret society, a mysterious presence haunting the passages beneath the school, and a best friend who he's pretty sure is some kind of immortal being, and the year is shaping up to be anything but straightforward.

A Mage is Sometimes Late is a standalone cozy fantasy set in the world of Turbulent Magic, where dragon airlines fill the skies and magic is sometimes just a perfect cup of tea.
