Garrard is a young man unknowingly ahead of his time: a better book-keeper than mage-in-training, he lives for efficiency and accountability in a world where the currency of force is composed magic and steel. Despite his complete lack of promise as a wizard, Garrard is apprenticed to Arnoth the Unstoppable, greatest mage in the world, the one man who has foreseen Garrard's true destiny. Garrard's adventure begins when he accompanies his master, along with the legendary Elsewinde the Immaculate, and Basher the Red, on a quest to discover what mysterious force is felling the world's greatest adventurers within the Realm of Thunder, a dark land of rumbling skies where even the mightiest of heroes has fallen. Garrard is neither wizard nor warrior, healer nor thief. He is but an awkward young bookkeeper whose penchant for precision and love of logic will lead him to power in a world he is about to forever change.

"Saints of Augustine" is one man's magical odyssey through the spiritual maze that is St. Augustine, Florida. From the Nombre de Dios Mission to St. Augustine Shores, our hero commits to a quest for his own sanity and discovers the hidden true nature of the oldest city in the continental United States. Suffering through a divorce, and beset by an ancient witch whose evil knows no bounds, he is tempted by the one true Fountain of Youth, and aided by saints previously unknown: a Chinese Jesuit automaton called "The Augbot"; a talking dog; a mysterious visitor from the future; a funeral director who re-animates the dead; and a sea-monster known only as Leviathan.

Dennis J. Barton draws upon his experiences in the real St. Augustine to deliver a stunning portrayal of the spirits that inhabit the hidden spaces, the far-out possibilities, the secret beauties and dangers of a place rich in history and steeped in myth.
