The Mage Lord — Matthew S. Hart

The story begins sometime after the kingdom of Notharedis has once again found peace. The villain Elligius is dead and Lady Gwynknell, the heir to the throne, has been blessed with the birth of her first child. The kingdom's future seems suddenly much brighter, but there is another with thoughts of avenging her master's death who will not be stopped. But as with all tales, this one is fraught with twists and turns no one expects. The beautiful lycan beast named Nox is blessed with a chance to discover a past she never knew existed, and with her company of witches, they set off on a benign quest. Their adventure soon draws the attention of the powerful Mage Lord who, spurred by his lust for ever greater power, devises a plan to have it. War, murder, and manipulation; nothing and no one will stand in his way. And as the final few secrets are revealed and untold power seems within the Mage Lord's grasp, the only question remains who must live and who must die?
