Publisher's Synopsis
'When I was born, the world started to die.
'By the time I was 5 1/2, the world had been killed by the Red Death and I was living in a Dwarf orphanage learning Dwarf values before that race died out. 'By 16, I had been struck by lightning and had become a wild mage struggling to control my powers.'Now I'm a mercenary making a living fighting against the dark forces of the world. 'Well, at least I have job security.' Sellswords is the first book in a series (the second book is also out) set in a world of high magic, where ideas are just as powerful as spells and gunpowder.
