About the Author:

Adam J. Boyer

Adam has resided in Tucson, Arizona over twenty years after relocating from Minnesota to complete residency. Between chasing doodles, kids, his wife, a career in medicine, and sandwiched between practicing guitar and crossing things off the never-ending honey do list, he finds time to write about adventures in the Dark Frontier. 

The Dark Frontier is a 5 book series set in a grim world akin to the American Old West with elements of magic, political intrigue and morally complex characters who use the magic for their own purposes. The main character, Emmele, must master her own abilities to find her own life in the world. But villains and enemies she hasn't met yet have been at work in the world far longer, and her disadvantage proves costly at every turn.

She discovers magical abilities and draws the attention of the man in black who pursues her to fulfill his own plan three hundred years in the making.

Her life amid the ruins left her unprepared for trusting others. Emmele must reckon with her past and let strangers she meets along the way into her heart. The man in black has set himself against her and the world. Time slips away and she must develop her magical abilities and use every instinct to save the people she loves before the man in black destroys the Dark Frontier.
