Adept Universe: Aiden

Aiden Azar Myers: [Dark?] Sorcerer. Aka ‘Last son of Azar’. Bright blue eyes. Dark brown hair. 6’1. Tanned skin. Sharp cheekbones. Clean-shaven when wearing a magically-fortified suit and ready to cause some damage (say whenever his family is in town). But when relaxed at the farm with Emma, he prefers to be scruffy and in jeans. DOB: June 23, 1987. Sign: Cancer. Birthstone: Carnelian. Father is Kader Azar aka the sorcerer Azar aka one of the architects of the Collective. Younger half-brother to Isa (10 years older)(sorcerer) and Khalid (magically sensitive, combat-trained sorcerer). Cousin to Grosvenor (curse breaker). His mother’s family are Myers coven witches. Mother is Cerise Myers (witch). Elder brother to two half-sisters witches, Sky and Ocean. Holds a French passport (with a Paris address). In Amplifier 1, he has three healing wounds on his torso from Silver Pine’s Greater demon (matching scars to Emma’s). Addicted to the accumulation of magic. Magical items: various rings, including multiple platinum bands etched with runes (which he no longer wears), and ten runed bands that he made from old copper piping. Baseball bat with runes (lost in A2 and carved again in A3). Spelled knife that he uses for blood magic. Various spellbooks and notebooks. He creates complicated runes in the pages of the notebooks, and when needed he tears the page out and casts the spell by crumpling the rune/paper. Copper-inlaid pentagram, anchored in obsidian (which he blows out in A4), then carnelian. Abilities: Can see and feel magic. He can cast minor witch magic and is exceptionally strong when casting rune-based sorcerer magic. Lives at White Owl Farm with Emma, Christopher, Opal (when on school breaks), and Paisley. Officially engaged to Emma in Amplifier 4. Drives a dark burgundy Mercedes G550 SUV. 

Aiden first appeared in Demons and DNA (Amplifier 0) and he is a principal character in all the Amplifier Series novels.

Aiden. Aka Emma’s Dark Sorcerer. From the Amplifier Series. Sorcerers generally have a way with words, it is after all how they access their magic, but Aiden takes charm (and cunning) to a masterful level. Until he met Emma and threw away that facade along with the magically-fortified suits (which occasionally make a reappearance wherever his family is in town). Likes: collecting illegal dark magic spellbooks, hiding protection runes on the people he loves, and ignoring his father’s magical dynasty-building plans. Illustration by Memo
Aiden. Aka Emma’s Dark Sorcerer. From the Amplifier Series. Often seen flashing a genuine smile right before releasing a deadly curse, Aiden’s comfort level is directly tied to the length of his scruff (yes, in Amplifier 5 it’s verging on a beard!) and the amount of (and type) of clothing he’s wearing. But he’s found that Emma’s magic beckons oh, so sweetly (well, their version of ‘sweet’) whenever she sees him barechested or in a tightfitting henley so he is happy to oblige. At least once a day, behind warded doors, of course. 😉 Dislikes: unannounced visitors, and anyone disrespecting Emma. Illustration by Memo

The Amplifier Series is set within the larger Adept Universe but can be read separately. The main series starts with Demons and DNA (Amplifier 1) but there are two prequels (bundled together) as well. Click here for the full/recommended reading order of the Adept Universe.

Also (funny?) side note: I told Memo that Aiden might be the only time (unless we also give Beau a beefcake moment) that she will get to sketch ‘man chest’ for the Adept Universe. Aiden does spend a lot of time out of his shirt, but I SWEAR the unbuttoned jeans were Memo’s idea … ahem, outside of all the scenes in all the Amplifier books, I mean. 😂
