The Rise of the Azure Spire

War has come to Alluria.

With King Darnashi under the control of necromancy wielded by Prime Magus Encheron, the Wizardlord's must pledge their allegiance or face the costs of treason.The Elves of Venda have thrown their support behind Prince Kal, but Kal might be more Allurian than they bargained for. When Kal's dreams connect to the tortured soul of his brother, King Darnashi - the war takes a much deadlier turn. An army of the dead has risen and Encheron wields their commander. While Venda and Alluria fight their war, Encheron is making deals with the Shadowland to ensure his own claim over Alluria, but when he promises the Heart of Creation in exchange for his power, he may have doomed them all.

Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin's writing style, particularly  The Wizard of Earthsea, of The Earthsea Cycle Series, J. Edward Hackett has created a world of magic and adventure, sprinkled with philosophical musings and what it means to stand up for what you believe in.
