Author Interview: Gwen Perkins

I have another great author that I would like to introduce you guys to today - Gwen Perkins, author of The Universal Mirror. She was kind enough to stop by and answer some questions about her book, writing, and some inspirational historical events.

On the island of Cercia, the gods are dead, killed by their followers and replaced with the study of magic. Magicians are forbidden to leave their homeland. Laws bind these men that prevent them from casting spells on the living—whether to harm or to heal.

Quentin, a young nobleman, challenges these laws out of love for his wife. His best friend, Asahel, defies authority at his side, unaware that the search for this lost magic will bring them both to the edge of reason, threatening their very souls. The Universal Mirror shows how far two men are willing to go for the sake of knowledge and what they will destroy to obtain it.

This is the first novel of the new fantasy series, Artifacts of Empire.

Hi, Gwen! Thank you so much for being so kind as to answer some questions about your book. In your own words, can you tell us a little bit about The Universal Mirror?
