Living in secret within the ancient library ruins, they are surprised when a young woman shows up asking them for help. Mykal and Blodwyn return to Cordillera’s castle, this time as allies. Tasked with unraveling the mystery, they soon realize there isn’t much evidence pointing in any direction. They are ill prepared for the untold dangers that await them. It will come down to more than Mykal’s magic if they hope to survive, and if they want to resolve the case of Osiris’ abducted people.

A war is coming. There is no way to prevent it. The only thing for certain is that there will be one loser… and one winner. WIZARD’S RISE (A Severed Empire Novel) – For over two hundred years the Rye Empire enforced drastic measures outlawing the use of magic.

Shortly after the decree the empire crumbled, but the laws remained in place… The Mountain King’s ambitions of becoming the next Emperor will be realized. With forced help from an enslaved sorceress, he will stop at nothing until he achieves his dreams. The easiest path to victory can be obtained by retrieving buried talismans.

Teepo is an orphan and a boy who can Summon - a Gromancer. The problem is that his master, Dragma, is also a Gromancer. To have two in the same generation is a curse. And when a sacred tree sheds its leaves in their village, the curse deepens and doom is foretold. Teepo has but one option. Exile. Together with his master, Teepo must venture out into the Eight Islands and follow the ancient Gromancer way. He must search for fifty spirits of elemental, physical and mental mind, in the fool’s hope of gaining a reprieve back to Paradise. But the way is near impossible. Darkness gallops on their heels; forgotten realms unzip themselves into reality; and the Darknova moves across the moon, heralding the return of an ancient evil. Only with their shared bond can Teepo and Dragma hope to survive the gathering maelstrom. But after a while, as they gather forces around them, Teepo starts to suspect his master has an ulterior - more selfish - motive for collecting the Summons. If true, it could potentially leave Teepo alone as the last Gromancer alive… in a world stricken by chaos.
