Magic and Bullets (Academy of Outcasts, Book 2)

In MAGIC AND BULLETS, the thrilling sequel in the epic portal fantasy adventure series, ACADEMY OF OUTCASTS, Oz Canarvon, a magicless man-on-the-run stops at nothing to earn a place in a magic academy - hell, demons, and monsters be damned!Ozwald Carnavon used to be a lowly rank-one nobody mining "Red" on a plane of fire. Now, he’s the acting head of the officially sanctioned (but totally broke) Academy of Outcasts. Situated in "The Tube"—a mile-tall wizard tower that fell over fifty years ago and is now an obnoxiously haunted ruin—the school is the talk of the Under Slump, mostly because they’ll accept anyone with a pulse and a single spell to share. But running an academy for magical misfits isn’t all spell-crafting and experiments. When the legendary founder, Gaul “the Mutilator” Haddar, vanishes to hunt pirates, he leaves Oz in charge of a gaggle of aspiring mages who are more likely to blow themselves up than pass a test. And then the landlord comes knocking. Experience the sequel in ACADEMY OF OUTCASTS, the new progression fantasy epic from LARRY CORREIA, award-winning author of Monster Hunter International and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. This progression fantasy epic features a D&D-inspired setting split by portals into elemental realms, slow-growth power progression, magic academies, and unforgettable characters! “Inventive magic systems, plenty of action, and an unforgettable new hero in OZ CARNAVON.
