Continuing Stuck in Magic, the first in a new series of novellas… Exiled from power to wander aimlessly, Elliott and his remaining companions are hired by a movement of villagers to lead a revolt against their baron. But when it becomes clear there can be no compromise between the baron’s iron boot and the villagers’ desire for freedom, he finds himself dragged into a struggle far harsher than he’d signed up for – a war to the knife that will reshape an ancient kingdom… or see its spark of freedom extinguished once and for all.
