Sword And Fire - The Mercian Chronicles #1 Bestseller in Action & Adventure ‘I was hooked from the very start! This series is a must-read for fans of rich high fantasy adventure.’ A Reader The war drums sounded through the foothills surrounding the mighty fortress. Their low, ominous beat a warning of impending, inevitable doom. Death was coming; he could feel it. Meloc came to Welfasten to warn Feitar, the city chief, of an evil presence growing in the darkness and the disappearances of the Mercian magikborne. However, he had not made it past the great city walls and had been thrown in prison accused of practising illegal magik. Feitar offers him two choices: either be sent to Eldingar Tower and undergo the unmynstering to remove his magik or find the Serpent’s Breath, the lost galdor weapons of Mercia, the only weapons able to destroy the magically enhanced Dunmuir army. To the hunted warlock either choice could have deadly consequences. Which will he risk losing: his life or his magik? The Reviews 'A dark, gritty, atmospheric fantasy novel with a gripping plot and complex characters.' A Reader.
