RETURN OF
THE WIZARD KING

WIZARD KING TRILOGY | BK 1

After nearly eight centuries, the last wizard king seeks a return to Tralodren. But doing so requires the manipulation of a band of mercenaries oblivious to his goals.

The gladiator sold his soul for revenge. The knight's a bigot. The dwarf only cares about regaining his honor. Even the wizardess seems too bookish for anyone’s good. But they’ve all been hired by a blind seer and his assistant to retrieve some forgotten knowledge long hidden away in a jungle-strangled ruin.

Get in. Get out. Get paid. At least, that’s what they thought. Instead, they uncover hidden agendas and ancient power struggles centuries in the making.

Welcome to Tralodren, a world rich in history, faith, and tales of adventure—of which this story is but one of many.
