At Coffee Hub in Beavercreek to discuss this month's book An Inheritance Of Magic , a novel by Benedict Jacka. Preview: The super-rich control everything, including magic, in this thrilling and brilliant, contemporary fantasy from the author of the "Alex Verus" novels. The wealthy seem to exist in a different, glittering world from the rest of us. Almost as if magic. Stephen Oakwood is a young man on the edge of this hidden world. He has talent and potential, but turning that potential into magical power takes money, opportunity, and training. All Stephen has is a minimum wage job and a cat. But when a chance encounter with a member of House Ashford gets him noticed by the wrong people, Stephen is thrown into the deep end. For centuries, the vast corporations and aristocratic Houses of the magical world have grown impossibly rich and influential by hoarding their knowledge. To survive, Stephen will have to take his talent and build it up into something greater, for only then can he beat them at their own game.
