Foundation for the Lost
(2011)(The first book in the Ryoku, the Game of Power series)
A novel by Scott Rhine
No good deed goes unpunished. A Kabbalah magician, Aaron Walker has devoted the last hundred years of his life to his Foundation, a charity that helps widows, orphans, and the stranger in the land. It doesn't get much stranger than the Lost: male witches who don't have parents to train them in the arts. Now, corporate wizards are trying to kill him, and he has no idea why. With a handful of former students, he hops from one hidden enclave of cultural magic to another, hoping to survive long enough to contact the witches of New Salem. But the assassins don't scare Aaron as much as the price the witch Rose demands for her aid--to father a child. To keep his magic and save the world, he must remain a virgin. Merodak, the demon, offers a way out but he's a pathological liar with a twisted sense of humor. An urban fantasy that starts like a hardboiled detective novel and continues with non-stop action. Readers can hear each character's unique voice.
