Wizard in Exile
Об электронной книге
But the two men are one and the same.
Haunted by nightmares from his past, Will has chosen a life of exile, hoping to erase the blood from his soul by forging a simple life. Service and family might ease his pain, but beneath his scars are deeper wounds. A queen and wife turned into a lich. Friends poisoned with hate. While he seeks peace in isolation, his absence has left a void, and an ancient foe craves a return to power.
Patient and malevolent, the enemy knows the nature of man, and anger is an oh-so-useful tool in the game of nations. As war looms, Will’s anonymity—and the life he’s built—are threatened, forcing him to choose between the friends of his past, and the friends of his present. To win, he’ll need what he left behind, the mantle of the Stormking.

Об авторе
Michael Manning spent his formative years in Texas, reading fantasy and science fiction, concocting home-grown experiments in his backyard, and generally avoiding schoolwork. Later at college his love of beer and role-playing games led to what he calls his ‘best year ever’ and what most of his family calls ‘the lost year’. Eventually he graduated and somewhat ironically, became a pharmacist.
Unfortunately, Michael was not a model pharmacist. Being free spirited was not a particularly good trait to possess in a career focused on perfection, and the letter-of-the-law. He wound up working in pharmacy informatics (for the safety of the public) but after ten years or so, he grew tired of that and wrote a book. One thing led to another, and after a while he gave up trying to live two lives (much to his mother’s chagrin). Thus far he’s written several series and can’t (or won’t) stop writing.
