Old Sorcery - Paperback

by James D. Mills (Editor), James Callan (Author)

IN THE DAYS OF YORE, THE OLD SORCERY WAS MORE THAN MYTH

A wonderous and whimsical tale that follows four heroes each pursuing the four fabled Demon Shards to unlock unimaginable sorcerous power. Callan's witty humor melds brilliantly with the brutal yet vivid world of Garden, culminating in a narrative that deconstructs and celebrates what makes Fantasy amazing.

Wrenna dreams of a day when she can free herself from her royal brother's ceaseless expectations. When she travels to a mysterious wizard's tower in the woods, she realizes that the cost of sorcery is more than she bargained for.

Leafe's orchard of orange trees is dying after generations of bountiful harvests. Haunted by a dream wraith, he travels into the desert to find power that can once again bring the rain... and accidentally starts a cult in the process.

Fleeing a lifetime of abuse, Aisling follows a magical magpie from a bad situation to a horrific fate. Through ceaseless torment, she hardens into the fiercest warrior to walk on Garden and discovers ancient power to punish those who would do harm.

Lady Wisteria has lived alone in her castle for decades, accompanied only by the rotting bones of her late lord husband. Driven mad by grief, she searches for the power to resurrect her love and will stop at nothing in order to find it.

Fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld and Chritopher Buehlman's Blacktongue will find Callan's wit enchanting. OLD SORCERY is an absurdist Fantasy Epic with a serious story to tell.
