Jason’s father has never been a real part of his life. He floated in and out, leaving him to grow up with relatives and only visiting a few times a year. It’s a surprise when he gets the news that his father has died.
As he stumbles into his father’s enigmatic life, he discovers the family secret–his father was a mage for an organization called The Invisible Hand–agents of order that fight The Golden Dawn, who are agents of chaos. He discovers that he has powers as well, and The Hand informs him that his father didn’t exactly kill himself–he was murdered by the Golden Dawn, and now they’re after Jason.
He quickly discovers he’s got significant power, and he’d better get a grip on it if he wants to survive and exact revenge for the father he barely knew.
Magicians Impossible is incredibly fast paced, and the magical fight scenes are well described choreography that would make for really great film. I’d really love to see this done on the big (or small) screen. It’s a well crafted tale that will keep you in anticipation until the end.
