Get on the train already! A Message from KLA Spanjer

December 10, 2025 by William Myrl Leave a Comment

Hey folks!

This is KLA Spanjer, author of Familiar Magic, and with Book 3 finally coming out, I couldn’t be more excited!

It’s been an amazing experience seeing how many people are diving into the first two books, and this one should be the most satisfying of them all. For those of you new to the series, it follows a Doctor in a world where healing is outlawed, and true power comes from magical familiars. The first two books have seen our protagonist put through countless challenges, but always coming out stronger and more determined. Book 3 will see him using the power he’s earned to take charge of his destiny, and maybe even change the world.

This series has been a blast to write, and seeing your reactions has been even more amazing. Even though this book finishes the first trilogy, Doctor Bishop’s story has only just begun. If you’re into wild magical powers, granted by incredible monsters and demons, then this series is for you. I hope you’ll step into a world of dangers and wonders, and maybe even ask yourself what familiar you’d choose?

Thanks for reading!

-KLA

Check out the series!

Ethan Bishop is finally free, but the world is still ending.

To reach the secrets of Terranova, Ethan Bishop must survive a gauntlet of undead horrors and a deadly rift within the ranks of the Chosen. As the Union looms to merge the worlds, Ethan is done following orders. Now, the future rests entirely on his choices.

Praise for the series:

“cranked this one all the way up to 11.”

“The characters are real people, and it makes the already compelling story fascinating.”

“…a terrifying box of chocolates.”

“It has puns!”

“…mesmerized from the first chapter.”

“…rivals HWFWM.”
