Excellence Vol. 2: The Present Tense [PDF ebook] 

Spencer Dales was born into a world of magic. His father belongs to the Aegis, a secret society of black magicians ordered by their unseen masters to better the lives of others-of higher potential-but never themselves. Now, Spencer Dales has one purpose: tear down the Aegis and free everyone under their "protection." However, with his closest ally in prison and the Tenth looking to put Spence in an adjoining cell, creating a better future won’t be easy. But it needs to happen NOW. KHARY RANDOLPH and BRANDON THOMAS ignite a generational war in this action-fantasy series, made entirely by creators of color and committed to one truth above all others-Excellence is Real.
