I’m taking a break from my Twilight movie-commentary marathon to bring you this excerpt from Christian Cura’s second book in his ‘Dreams of Fire‘ series, ‘Dreams of Thunder’! Described as being similar to ‘The Magicians’ and ‘Harry Potter,’ you can keep reading to check out the excerpt, and read Christian’s bio. (I’d be lying if I said the book cover doesn’t give me Breaking Dawn vibes.)

Christian Cura is a new author who just recently published his debut novel Dreams of Fire. Ever since he read Lord of the Rings as a teenager, it has been his dream to write and publish a novel of his own. His favorite authors include J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling and Robert Jordan. Christian lives in Northern Virginia where he lifts weights at home and creates artwork.

When he is not writing, he can be found drawing or getting beaten up at his MMA gym.
