Flamecaster

Madam Chima still got it!
The story starts off dark
with death and broken hearts.
Our heroes become assassins and rebels
in this dark world where an evil king
wages war on the Wolf Queen of the Fells.
You don't need to read the previous series
to enjoy the adventures, magic, and schemes of this one
but you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't
go back and read them while you wait for the sequel to Flamecaster.
