levitator
When his father is killed, the quite unmagical Nate ‘Merlin’ Smith must enter a world of digital wizards and high-tech vampires in search of a missing dragon called Mahag… No, that’s not it. Ma’haga...
“Ma’hagnonoma,” said Hamilton. “She’s one of the last dragons. London's dragon. She used to live in an abandoned tunnel beneath Victoria Station. But your father moved her. I don’t suppose you remember where? The safety of London. England. Possibly the world is at stake…”

synopsis
How do you save the world when you only know one spell?
All Nate ‘Merlin’ Smith wanted was a normal life. But when his estranged father dies, he becomes the heir to a bloodline of powerful wizards and is thrust into a world he never knew existed.
Every dark force in this veiled Underkingdom wants to find England’s last dragon, a powerful source of earthly magic, and they believe Nate knows where his father hid her. But he doesn’t. In fact, Nate doesn’t know anything. Doesn’t feel remotely magical either. Something is wrong, but nobody seems to be listening.
Hunted by interdimensional hell-hounds, rival wizards and thought-sucking vampires, Nate wrestles to develop his magical powers, while unraveling the secrets of a past he never knew.
With enemies closing in and a traitor threatening to destroy them all, nothing is as it seems. Can Nate save the world before sinister forces claim dominance forever? If only he had time to learn more than the levitation spell he’s barely mastered…
Levitator is book #1 of the Merlin Smith Chronicles, a snarky urban fantasy adventure about a plot to rid the world of magic and dragons. Filled with faerie creatures (but not as you know them), it’s a fun and humorous mix of mystery, action and the paranormal, with a hint of romance.
