In Scientific Dragons: The Adventure of Ensun Castle, an expatriate from the Philippines, an immortal female pirate, and a Japanese American spy must battle to keep a small European kingdom from falling to a global shadow government and their airborne fortress. The heroes must navigate airship battles and clockwork minds while unraveling a conspiracy that threatens to drag the country down in flames.

Magwili is currently writing the sequel to The Infernal Promise, entitled The Children of the Foretelling, with publication planned for 2026.

Scientific Dragons: An Adventure in Ensun Castle is published by Digital Fabulists (digitalfabulists.com), an independent publisher of genre fiction.
