The Sorcerer's Torch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994290101)

The Nirum Empire is dying, and its death rattle threatens the world of Yold.

Since the king's death, Queen Vikena has ruled through vengeance and greed, sacking rival lands and shattering alliances as rumors of civil war spread. While unrest festers across the land, the twin moons of Yold creep closer each night-a magical omen looming in the sky.

Rip is a street thief surviving the empire's collapse through quick hands, a strong will, and a dash of luck. When his fortune finally runs dry, he's captured and condemned, then spared only to be bound into service to the Grand Sorcerer, a wizard whose faith in the empire is beginning to fracture. During the wizard's charge, a sinister act binds Rip's fate to the queen's own daughter, and escape becomes their only option to flee Vikena's tightening grip.

Hunted by blades, giants, and other unmentionable beasts, Rip and his unlikely companion flee into a wild countryside thick with ancient enchantments. There, they seek refuge-only to uncover secrets older than the crumbling empire itself.

A tale of stealth, sorcery, and survival, The Sorcerer's Torch is Book One of the Moonweld Saga.
