The MaLevoLenT SeveN
‘Seven powerful mages want to make the world a better place. We’re going to kill them first.’
Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. No doubt he’s wearing iridescent silk robes that couldn’t protect his frail body from a light breeze.
Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you’re probably not going to like it, because we’re violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations.
My name is Cade Ombra, and the people I worked for weren’t quite as noble as I’d believed. Now I’m on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent.

MAGIC, INTRIGUE, AND A MURDEROUS TALKING SQUIRREL CAT
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO WIN BACK YOUR MAGIC?

The Greatcoats
THE ACCLAIMED SWASHBUCKLING FANTASY SERIES
THE GREATCOATS: LEGENDARY HEROES, ARBITERS OF JUSTICE, OR NOTORIOUS TRAITORS?
The King is dead, the Greatcoats have been disbanded and Falcio Val Mond and fellow magistrates Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as bodyguards for a nobleman who refuses to pay them. Things could be worse – their employer could be lying dead on the floor while the three of them are forced to watch as the killer plants evidence framing them for the murder. Oh wait, that’s exactly what’s happening.
“Fantastic from the first sentence to the last.” – John Gwynne
“An energetic, fun adventure that puts the ‘musk’ back in ‘musketeer.’ Guaranteed to increase household swashbuckling by 100%!“ – Kirkus
