Jeff Hirsch posted the first three chapters of his upcoming novel Magisterium. The story follows sixteen-year-old Glenn Morgan who lives next to the Rift, a mysterious divide between the prosperous land she lives in and the great unknown. Read below for the synopsis and a look at the first three chapters.
Synopsis:
On one side of the Rift is a technological paradise without famine or want. On the other side is a mystery.
Sixteen-year-old Glenn Morgan has lived next to the Rift her entire life and has no idea what might be on the other side. Glenn’s only friend, Kevin Kapoor, insists there’s monsters and witchcraft, but magic isn’t for Glenn. She has enough problems with reality. Ever since her mother abandoned them years earlier she and her scientist father have led nearly separate lives. He obsessively pursues “The Project,” a patched-together heap of technology whose importance only he seems to grasp, while Glenn dreams of the day she can escape.
But when her father’s work leads to his arrest, he gives Glenn a simple metal bracelet that sends her and Kevin on the run—with only one place to go. On the other side of the Rift, Glenn and Kevin find the Magisterium, a world different more wondrous and terrifying than they could have imagined…
Magisterium releases on October 1.
