An Orphan Magician
Baby Boy Doe, a foundling child who became Boyd Wright, unwanted and the least important resident of the Carruthers Home for Boys, survived among juvenile predators and indifferent staff by stealth and cowardice. Until he reached puberty.

Beings from elsewhere entered Boyd’s head and told him he has been chosen by these Watchers to rid Earth of parasitic visitors from yet another elsewhere, the Others. They gave him magical talents and instructions. Boyd took the talents and ignored the instructions. Alienated, suspicious, cynical, and antisocial, Boyd didn’t think much of these gods, sorcerers, or whatever they were. The magic wasn’t all that great, but he was not turning down the gifts. Not a chance. When he left Carruthers at eighteen years old, he took the talents and said farewell to orphanages and Watchers, and became a magician. Not the kind who performed on stage in Las Vegas, but the kind who made money from magic.

What becomes of Boyd Wright? What are his talents, and what does he do with them? Does Boyd meet an Other? What is a Womble?

To find the answers to these questions and uncover other mysteries, read on as Boyd takes his skills into a deep South delta town: Dark Water, Mississippi.
