Is there a path and a mission set for a person before they are even born? For Thaddeus, he is called upon to fulfill a prophecy that not only holds the fate of the world in his hands, but it also leads to an unexpected journey of self-discovery.
The story is universal. All of us face the choice to move away from the safety of certainty to face life’s challenges head-on. Thaddeus must break away from familial expectations to pursue his higher calling.
Thaddeus of Beewicke, the first in a series, is an immersive experience that can best be described as Stand By Me meets Harry Potter. It is a coming-of-age saga within a magical fantasy world where the ensemble of characters discern right from wrong and learn the values of inner strength and loyalty.
About the Book
In this debut high fantasy epic, author Louis Sauvain creates an ensemble of unique characters who endure precarious situations on the road to the Collegium Sorcerorum, the College of Sorcerers.

His first protégé is 14-year old Thaddeus, a young boy from Beewicke who shows great promise in magic. Master Silvestrus and Thaddeus set out for the College of Sorcerers in a cart pulled by the sentient mule, Asullus. Along the way, they are joined by two other sorcerers-in-training, Anders (a likable bookworm) and Rolland (an immature mischief-maker.) As the group travels, amusing adventures ensue and the young apprentices learn the road to sorcery and adulthood is precariously precious.
