Hope of the Paladin — Frank Caccavo

Seth Kish of the Borderlands has achieved a powerful ancient magic of the Elves and now reluctantly wields power he neither desires nor fully understands. Having barely survived numerous attempts on his life, he must risk it again to intercept the wizard Locke before the “demon-man” can obtain the last unclaimed Talisman, “Water.”

Enraged at Seth's persistence, Locke sets his genocidal scheme into motion. While the sorcerer treks to claim the final mystical device, his army launches its invasion, threatening all the Southlands with destruction and enslavement.

While Seth's brave comrades race to confront the massive host descending upon them, he must travel alone to challenge Locke before the mad wizard can achieve his ends.

But Locke knows the last Finder is coming...

In this tale of epic fantasy adventure, Seth must overcome doubt and terror, and defy a merciless enemy, while all he holds dear hangs in the balance.
