The 13th Dathen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781835432174)

A mighty Battle Mage abandons the Dathens to live a secluded life, but decades later, now in his old age, he is suddenly burdened with a task that pulls him back to his old adrenaline-rushing battles. Living a solitary life with nothing but drinking hard cider and smoking tobacco, the ex-Dathen Battle Mage, Lucius Drake, lost his spark and became rusty on his extensive battle knowledge. Now a shell of his former self, Lucius must embark on a thrilling journey to fulfill a destiny many would run from. The 13th Dathen by N. J. Franco follows a lonely man who desperately tries to commit himself to an impossible task that tests all of his strength and wits and forces him to come out of the shadows into the world he once abandoned.
