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.

I loved Jim Melvin's Death Wizard Chronicles. So, when I heard he'd published a Magical Adventure YA story, I snapped it up. I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the first in a new, epic fantasy series.
