Azalea will make you fall in love with my book. She draws Callum in the moment he sees her, twirling fire in Berlin. Azalea is eccentric and transient; a fiercely independent woman. She escaped a traumatic childhood, finding solace in the sea, sailing in and around Europe, or living near the ocean.
Rockstar drummer Callum inherits a deck of magic playing cards, and begins a quest to unlock its secrets, to help an ancient Basque tradition be restored, rebalancing harmony in the world. Along the way, Callum’s mind conjures up images of paintings.
I don’t know what my book would be without Magoa, an adoring, enormous mountain of a man. He hails from the jentilak, a race weaved into Basque mythical legend. They are hairy. They are so tall they can stand in the sea. They build megalithic monuments. ‘Magoa’ means 'Magician' in Basque.
