“Harry Potter” for grown-ups. When a lady mage returns to
her hometown in her magical world from long years of exile in the Himalayas and
thereabouts, her epiphany radically transforms the lives of an imposing,
elitist, and bacchanalian dignitary and his troubled teenaged son. The binding quality of love and conspiratorial
influences propel the dignitary and his son to avatar-like roles in the
up-ending of the political power structure of the land.

The story opens with the return from
political exile of the lady mage Sofia La Maga. She has spent about a dozen
years traveling and studying in the mystical East and so the story is peppered
with imagery and insights associated with Eastern mysticism. Upon her return
from exile, Sofia takes a teaching position at her alma mater, the H. Trismegistus
Mystical Arts Academy. Although the consul of the sovereignty, an imposing,
elitist, and somewhat bacchanalian sorcerer named Leo de Lux, is adverse to Sofia’s
return, Sofia takes a liking to the sorcerer’s troubled teenaged son, Leonard
junior.

In an opening scene, reminiscent of the Harry Potter
series, Leonard Jr. and Sofia La Maga have their initial exchange during a
first day of class during which the youth tries to perpetrate a prank on the
new teacher. In time, Sofia and Leonard junior enter into a sympathetic
relationship through which the youth undergoes a profound transformation and secretly
becomes an apprentice to the lady mage. Meanwhile, sexual tension is building
between Sofia and her seeming polar opposite, the consul of the sovereignty Leo
de Lux.
Leo de Lux instigates a threatening confrontation with
Sofia when his suspicions that his son has apprenticed with her come to light. The
confrontation, h owever, leads to an unlikely love affair.

Public displays of magical prowess again put the lady
mage in a bad light with a certain notorious power-broker, the sorcerer Hipparchus
Gorgon, who holds great influence in a corrupt and corporatist political
structure in which Leo de Lux is integrally embroiled. Meanwhile, de Lux’s
estranged and disinherited elder brother Emmanuel, a provocateur in an
underground populist movement called the Lions of Light, reemerges to coax his
younger sibling to assume what he believes is a portended, avatar-like role in
a political coup. The conspiratorial influences of Sofia La Maga and Emmanuel
de Lux put Leo de Lux at a self-defining cross-road.
