Farden is a Written mage: a living weapon, the brutal fist of the Arka, trained in the schools of magick and forged in fire and blood. There are few that would dare to trifle with a Written, but there are always those too stupid or too ambitious to heed the warnings. Driven from the city of Krauslung and the Arka by family shame and gossip, Farden hopes the far-flung land of Albion will give him the peace and anonymity he craves. Shunned by the rest of Emaneska, Albion is a land of cruel dukes, rolling hills, and narrow minds who have rarely seen true magick. When his new and unusual superior Durnus immediately dispatches Farden on his first mission to recover a valuable weapon, the mage’s hopes of lying low are dashed by the Weaver: a grifter with poisonous ambition and other ideas for the weapon. Battling bandits and a hunter with a score to settle, Farden not only has to claim and keep ahold the weapon, but he must find out why it has half of Albion – and the Arka – chasing its tail. –––––– The Weaver & The Wyrm is a brand new novella set before the events of The Emaneska Series and Scalussen Chronicles. This new norse fantasy adventure of Emaneska’s most dangerous mage is a completely self-contained standalone.
