Cherry Hill, NJ, March 25, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Marc Neff, the medical director of the Center for Surgical Weight Loss at Jefferson Health of New Jersey, has completed his new book, “Rise of the Shadowmage: Book 1: Shadowmage Series”: a gripping fantasy novel that follows an outcast wizard who must rise to accept his new destiny to stem the tides of a dangerous force or succumb to his own inner darkness.
A 1996 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, author Marc Neff completed his residency in surgery at York Hospital in York, Pennsylvania, followed by fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery at St. Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, with W. Peter Geis and Robert Brolin. A fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Neff has been repeatedly named a “Top Doc” by South Jersey Magazine.
Dr. Neff writes, “Leander was once a gifted wizard and revered teacher—now, he’s a forgotten outcast, drifting through the ruins of his former life. Haunted by past mistakes and dulled by years of isolation, his days blur into a colorless routine, devoid of true magic or meaning.
“That is, until he reluctantly attends a long-avoided mages’ conference at the Arcane Conclave. Amid familiar halls and long-lost faces, something stirs within him: the thrill of learning, the warmth of camaraderie, and a flicker of hope. When Leander discovers a rare artifact that unlocks ancient, untamed magic, he glimpses a power he never thought he’d wield again.
“But the resurgence of wonder is short-lived.
“A brutal massacre shatters the gathering, plunging Leander into chaos. Fleeing to a remote village, he must come to terms with his newfound abilities and confront the ghosts of his past. As the perpetrators close in, Leander faces a choice: succumb to the shadows that have long defined him, or rise to meet a destiny he thought he'd lost.”
Published by Page Publishing, Marc Neff’s spellbinding tale of redemption, resilience, and the courage to begin again will boldly ask the question of if it is ever too late to learn something new, and if the outcast can rise from the ashes of regret to embrace his true power. Expertly paced and full of suspense, “Rise of the Shadowmage: Book 1: Shadowmage Series” invites readers to step into a world where shadows aren’t just remnants of the past—they are the crucible in which destiny is forged and the shadows may hold the key to a brighter future.
Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Rise of the Shadowmage: Book 1: Shadowmage Series” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
