Fantasy enthusiasts, mark your calendars for November 8th! A new epic adventure awaits with the Kickstarter launch of The Fall of Magic, the first book in The Master’s Core series. This isn’t just a typical book release; it’s an invitation to become part of a growing community that cherishes rich storytelling and immersive worlds.
Unlike many crowdfunding campaigns, this project isn’t about financing the completion of the book—it’s already written and ready to captivate readers. Author Phoenix Rokni is using Kickstarter as a platform to connect with those who share his passion for epic fantasy. He’s eager to find readers who will not only delve into the story but also engage with the universe he’s crafted over two decades. Supporters can look forward to special rewards and exclusive content included in the pledge tiers.
Meet Volir: An Elf’s Quest in a World on the Brink
Set in the world of Auro, still healing from the catastrophic War of Strife and Sorrow, The Fall of Magic introduces us to Volir, a solitary elf with a secretive past. He trains with the Knights of the Phoenix, legendary warriors known for their defiance against darkness. Volir’s deepest wish is straightforward: to be chosen by a phoenix and spend his life in peaceful solitude, away from the shadows of his history.
However, destiny has other plans. A once-noble prince, now corrupted by the malevolent fade, leads a sinister army bent on destruction. His ultimate target is Valenthreas, the sacred elven city and a symbol of hope and virtue. As chaos spreads and the realm teeters on the edge of darkness, Volir faces a pivotal choice. Will he embrace the light within and stand against the impending doom, or retreat into the solitude he yearns for?
Phoenix Rokni: From Soldier and Psychotherapist to Fantasy Author
Behind this sweeping tale is Phoenix Rokni, a new author whose life experiences enrich his storytelling. Phoenix began his professional journey as a soldier, serving with honor before transitioning to civilian life. Seeking to help others, he earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and established a successful private practice as a psychotherapist.
Despite his fulfilling career, Phoenix felt a persistent pull toward a dream he’d harbored for over twenty years—the creation of an expansive fantasy world. Deciding to follow his passion, he stepped away from his practice to dedicate himself fully to writing. The Fall of Magic is the culmination of his lifelong love for fantasy and storytelling.
Phoenix’s diverse background brings a unique depth to his work. His experiences have given him insight into the complexities of the human (and elven) spirit, allowing him to craft characters and narratives that resonate on a profound level. His aim isn’t just to tell a story but to explore themes of courage, sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness.
Join the Adventure: Be Part of The Master’s Core Community
What sets this project apart is Phoenix’s desire to build a community around his work. By launching on Kickstarter, he’s inviting readers to be more than just passive consumers; he wants them to be active participants in the journey. Supporters of the campaign will gain access to exclusive rewards, such as limited-edition copies, behind-the-scenes content, and more. These perks are designed to deepen the connection between the reader and the world of Auro.
The official website, themasterscore.com, offers a gateway into the lore of the series. Visitors can explore character profiles, delve into the history of the realm, and stay updated on the latest news. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world even before the book arrives.

We had the privilege of interviewing the author. Here are excerpts from the interview:
Hi, Please introduce yourself and tell us what you do.
My name is Phoenix Rokni. I’m a new author with a background as a soldier and a psychotherapist. After receiving an honorable discharge, I earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and spent many years helping others through my private practice. Eventually, I reached a point where I knew it was time to hang up my counselor hat and pursue my greatest passion: bringing to life the fantasy world I had been creating for over twenty years. Everything I do now is in support of that dream.
Please tell us about your book.
The Fall of Magic is the first book in a potentially expansive series that explores The Master’s Core, a sweeping epic of courage, sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness. In this story, we meet Volir, a lone elf with a hidden past, who trains with the Knights of the Phoenix. His world bears deep scars from a bygone age and now faces a grave threat. A prince, consumed by corruption, is leading his sinister army across the land, leaving destruction in their wake. As everything he holds dear is threatened, Volir must make a choice—one that will echo throughout history and shape the fate of all.
Please tell us about your journey.
I had never written a book before this one, so I spent about a year learning the craft and organizing my thoughts. I wanted to tell a strong story without making too many of the big mistakes many first-time authors make. I hired a stellar editor and cover artist and put a lot of effort into creating something memorable.
What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey?
Time, patience, and perseverance. I dedicated most of my free time—and sometimes found time I didn’t think I had—to refine this novel until the manuscript truly felt right. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and I couldn’t stop working until the characters, creatures, places, and magic all felt just right. I had a lot of support from those around me, who helped keep me grounded when I spent too much time immersed in the world I was creating. It was invaluable to have people who could ensure I kept my feet on the ground.
Any message for our readers
This Kickstarter campaign offers readers a chance to join this journey from the very beginning, with an exclusive version of the book that will never be available again. Called “The Fade” Black Edition, this special edition is my way of thanking those who support my work as an author. If you’re looking for a fantasy story that dares to be unique—something a bit unlike anything else out there—then this might be the story for you. While I honor the great stories and fantastical worlds that have come before mine, I’m also doing something quite different here, which will unfold over the course of the series. So, if you’re eager for an adventure with compelling characters and high stakes, this might just be the journey for you, one we can embark on together for many years to come.
Thank you so much, Phoenix, for giving us your precious time! We wish you all the best for your journey ahead!
