Book One
A Gathering of Fools
A loyal soldier betrayed. Can he clear his name and unchain his magic before the Empire cuts him down?
Marrinek lost everything in an instant. Framed for a crime he didn't commit, the faithful courtier spent two years in prison before a sudden, near-lethal escape. Hunted by his own former allies, the double-crossed magic user journeys to reunite with his wife and take revenge on those who deceived him.
Hiding amongst devious criminals in a seedy underworld, Marrinek unveils a kingdom-wide conspiracy that goes far beyond his own imprisonment. Against impossible odds, the soldier must lift the haze from his magic and expose the plot before his enemies strike a fatal blow.
