Wizard's Rise

The Severed Empire, Book 1

By: Phillip Tomasso

Narrated by: John Burns IV

For over 200 years, the Rye Empire outlawed the use of magic. Now, the empire has fallen and a new, sinister power is rising.

Ambitious and corrupt, the Mountain King will stop at nothing to reach his goals. Enslaving a sorceress to do his bidding, he begins his hunt for lost talismans that can help him bring the wizards back and harness their power.

To save the Old Empire from this growing, sinister magic, 17-year-old farm boy Mykal and his friends begin a desperate journey: They must collect the talismans before the Mountain King. On their way, Mykal will have to face fears and accept truths he never knew existed.

A war is coming, and their time is running out. And if they fail, a terrible darkness will steal the light from the Grey Ashland Realm...forever.
