Acclaimed fantasy author Fred Gracely has been honored with the Literary Titan Book Award for his spellbinding young adult fantasy novel, Misfit’s Magic: Twisting in Time. This recognition celebrates exceptional storytelling, creative vision, and emotional depth within the world of contemporary literature.
In Misfit’s Magic: Twisting in Time, readers follow Goffren (Goff), an orphaned Verlokken boy feared as the “ghost of Slaathwick.” Living alone in a broom closet of Castle Charmont’s Royal Kitchen with his pet rat, Felix, Goff believes solitude is his safest refuge. Haunted by tragedy and determined to avoid causing harm again, he isolates himself, until unlikely friendships pull him back into peril. Together with a spirited festival performer and an apprentice Royal Magician, Goff becomes entangled in a dangerous mystery involving child abductions, dark sorcery, and ancient powers that threaten their world.
Through breathtaking adventures filled with danger, heartbreak, and redemption, Goff must confront his own nature and accept the extraordinary magic that could either save or doom them all.
The Literary Titan review praised Gracely’s ability to blend whimsy and darkness with masterful precision, calling the book “a coming-of-age story tangled with monsters, magic, and heartache, but also with friendship, food, and flickers of joy that make the struggle worth it.” Readers are captivated by Gracely’s richly detailed fantasy world, where “magic isn’t always in wands or words but sometimes in butter, lavender, or a loaf of bread.”
When asked about his inspiration, Gracely explained, “I love an underdog, especially one with flaws that we can relate to. With Twisting in Time, I wanted to delve deep into the mysterious backstory of my favorite underdog, Goff, and explore his connection to the magical realm throughout time.” His focus on friendship, compassion, and the strength found in difference resonates deeply with readers of all ages.
Misfit’s Magic: Twisting in Time is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats. Readers seeking a heartfelt, high-stakes fantasy filled with unforgettable characters and lyrical prose won’t want to miss this award-winning story.
As a continuation of the Misfit’s Magic series, Twisting in Time delivers both an epic adventure and an intimate portrait of courage and self-discovery. The novel stands as a testament to Gracely’s gift for crafting emotional depth within immersive fantasy storytelling.
