Synopsis

*Re-editted 2021*
Daniel Welsh was born different—and to Daniel, to be different means to be alone. But what if he’s wrong?

Born an albino with a photographic memory, Daniel Welsh never expected to fit in. Yet, when he is approached by Trinity—a young girl who definitely isn’t human—she reveals a whole new world where he might just belong. Ariest is a place where his features aren’t a disability or the mark of a freak, but rather a trait of powerful mages born of human-faerie unions. His father is a renowned war hero and swordsman, his mother is a human doctor, and that makes him a powerful mage that’ll tip the scales. Magic is real—and so is the threat it brings.

Trinity and her father, a battle mage, aren’t the only ones to have discovered Daniel and his gifts hidden in the human realm.

The Shade have awakened.

Enemies to the fae realm long thought dead have been lying in wait for their moment to strike. Young mages like Daniel are the perfect morsel for their starving appetites and they start their killing spree without delay with the nearest unsuspecting mage boy. Daniel cannot sit idly by while monsters take innocent lives, so he will embrace a destiny he is only just beginning to understand... even if it means losing a life that’s finally worth living.

“Birth of the Mortokai is the first in the new YA Fantasy series by D.G. Palmer For fans of YA Fantasy this is one to get on the radar If you enjoyed novels such as Inkheart, Iron Fey, and in ways, Percy Jackson, then I’d check this out. It’s a series I’ll be keeping my eye on.’’- Radzy Writes & Reviews

“The imagery in this book is superb, the author skillfully uses descriptive language to paint pictures in the imagination of the reader. There’s also great world-building, creating different realms and beings with magic, mischief, danger, and destiny in a fascinating fantasy that had me turning the pages, never knowing what new twist might occur.
This is the start of a compelling new series, with mayhem, mystery, and malice mixed together to form an enthralling story that I want to continue to read. If you enjoy action-packed, magical fantasy adventures like I do, I highly recommend you read this!’’- Splashes Into Books

“The world-building is solid, the magic system is not only believable but also understandable, the characterization is good, the pacing is nicely done, the plot is well mapped out, and the Urban Fantasy / Fantasy / Comic Fantasy aspects all mesh together into a brilliantly fun coming-of-age adventure. There is some lovely humour and, at times, a gentle human depth to it.”- ayjaypagefarer

“5 magic stars!!
For the spellbinding, adventure-filled tale, that would be a perfect fit for a Disney movie!” – The Magic Book Corner
