"My name is Kazimir Wolfe, people call me 'Kaz', except they don't. I never use my real name, it's too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I'm on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It's a lonely life, I don't let anyone get close, people who are close to me end up dead. Why? I'm a wizard. The world's only wizard, as far as I know. I don't have a wand or a sword, and I don't ride a dragon. I carry a Glock 9MM, and drive around in a beat-up RV, with a talking dog. Yeah. The talking dog was a surprise to me too. Duke is inhabited by the spirit of a 3,000-year-old wizard from Babylon, and he's a good dog, but he is still a dog, and that's a problem. Like, he still thinks squirrels are his mortal enemy. And that I don't feed him enough. How did the spirit of an ancient wizard reach across time? I don't know. The truth is, I'm not much of a wizard, because there's not much magic in the world for me to work with. But there used to be magic. And magic is coming back, as our world converges with the Nether. Unless I can stop it"--Amazon.com
