THE WIZARD LORD: BOOK ONEI suppose that I had best explain the two previous posts, but I haven't had much time lately. So here's the gist of the story
The entire world is kept in delicate balance under the supervision of the Wizard Lord. It is his duty to govern and lightly protect his domain, but if he strays from the way of the just then it is up to the Chosen to intercede.
The Chosen are the Leader, the Seer, the Swordsman, the Beauty, the Theif, The Scholar, the Archer, and the Speaker, magically infused mortal individuals who for the term of their service have only one function-to be available to remove an errant Wizard Lord whether by persuasion or execution.
So our main character is Breaker (he has another name, but saying it openly gives those who hear power over you, thus the nicknames). He is a nineteen or eighteen year old man who is a plain barley farmer, given a nickname for past clumsyness while adapting to his rapidly growing body. Everything is pretty normal, until the Chosen Swordsman shows up, an old man no longer able to fulfill his duty should it happen (A Wizard Lord hasn't gone bad in 100 years). He wants to find an heir. Breaker basicly says 'What the heck, I'm not doing anything better in my life,' and after several days of thinking it over, decides to take up the role.
Of course the book would be pretty boring if the Wizard Lord didn't turn dark, so that's obviously going to happen, but that's just half of the tale.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants simple enjoyment and purest fantasy, not much realism beyond the obvious requirements.
Book Two, the Ninth Talisman will be posted soon.
