The Death Wizard Chronicles (18 and OLDER)
For a thousand years, none have rivaled the power of Torg, the Death Wizard, as he ruled his people and kept peace on Triken.
Now a new evil has arisen. The sorcerer Invictus is greater even than Torg, and his greed and ambition threaten to engulf the land
in eternal darkness. Torg becomes freedom’s final hope, but first he must die to earn the victory.
