This snippet is from the third book in the Clan Elves of the Bitterroot series, The Elf Mage, published by Dragonfly Publishing, Inc., (buy links here) available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all the usual sources.
Here’s the blurb: Daven Talvi made a choice a quarter-century ago to serve the Bitterroot Elf Clan, allowing the Circle of Elders to send him into suspended animation until the queen could be rescued. In doing so, he gave up his mate and his newborn son, sacrificing his own life for that of the clan. It had been a mistake. With the clan now in chaos and the new young queen in hiding, Daven must acknowledge his own errors and take responsibility to set things right. He teams up with Lane Donatelli, a human who has too long used food and computer gaming to feed his own insecurities. Together, they use Lane’s technology with Daven’s innate magical abilities to wage battle against the evil elf mages threatening the clan.
And here’s the snippet:
Daven said, “Before I went into the mountains, I’ll be the first to admit my priorities were not in a proper order.”
“What’s in the mountains?”
“The santwarja, a training ground for those who wish to become mages.”
What a crock. Lane eyed him from behind the laptop. “Really? You just walk in to Mages R Us, and walk out with your Hogwarts diploma?”
