LANCASHIRE, England, Sept. 17, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- What if a dream was reality and reality a dream? Would one be able to tell the difference? In the new novel The People's Sorcerer (now available through 1stBooks), by Michael A. Sewell, the line between dream and reality becomes blurred leaving a young man to question what is real.
Matt Wilding is a typical 19-year-old living his life between dream and reality. A student by day and dreamer by night, Matt has dreamt of the same place and people every night for as long as he can remember. The dreams, however, are not fantastic. In a place called Stern's Kingdom, Matt grows up, makes friends, loses his father, learns to administer aid to the injured and lives a regular life in his dreams. However, his unexciting nocturnal forays are about to change.
When an injury he receives in a dream leaves a real life scar, the line between dream and reality begins to blur. His schoolmasters view him with suspicion, and people begin to call him a sorcerer.
It is a title likely to get him killed. Sorcerers were cleansed by sword and blood ages ago. Now, they are only the subjects of legends and prophecies, remaining in an inkling of hope in a kingdom ruled by a tyrant. When Matt flees, he unknowingly steps into the prophesied role. He is the people's sorcerer and the only one who can free the people from tyranny.
Can Matt decipher dream from reality? Can he free the people and live up to the prophecy? The answers are in The People's Sorcerer.
Sewell was born and raised in England. He currently resides in Lancashire. The People's Sorcerer is his first book, which he plans to turn into a series.
