The Vondish Ambassador: A Legend of Ethshar [MultiFormat]
by Lawrence Watt-Evans
|
|
Once, not so long ago, a warlock named Vond built an empire in the southern part of the Small Kingdoms. Vond is gone, but his empire survives under the rule of a seven-person Imperial Council and a young regent named Sterren. The Empire of Vond was hardly trouble-free after Vond's departure. Its neighbors are understandably wary of further expansion, there are questions about how Vond's magic became so potent, and so on.

The Blood of a Dragon [Book 4 of the Ethshar Series] [MultiFormat]
by Lawrence Watt-Evans
|
|
Dumery of Shiphaven was a lad with a love of wizardry--and no magic at all. He dreamed of apprenticing himself to a great wizard, but because he had not even a touch of the talent, it was a dream he could never fulfill. He would never apprentice himself to a great wizard, nor even a meager one; no matter how he loved magic and the magical arts, he would never work with wizards or wizardry. That's what Dumery was beginning to think, anyway--until he spied a great wizard humbling himself before a ... more info>>

Ethshar and the Northern Empire have been at war for hundreds of years. Hardly anyone alive remembers why, or over what. The tempest, turmoil, and war are endless, and the killing more endless still.

by Lawrence Watt-Evans
|
|
The author writes: "Long before, I'd come up with the idea for the Black Dagger itself--it's a mildly clever variation on your standard parasitic sword, like Elric's Stormbringer or one of Steven Brust's Morganti daggers, and I've no idea how I came up with it, but I'd included a very brief mention of it in an earlier proposal, and Lester had liked it. So that was my starting point, and that gave me the entire opening of the story, showing how Tabaea acquired the dagger. The next step ... well, ... more info>>

A predicament some might actually find appealing--he was by heredity the Ninth Warlord of Semma, least of the small kingdoms; he was a noble, and his rank afforded him material privileges, even in a place as insignificant and obscure as Semma. But the office also carried certain terrible responsibi... more info>> (Published: 1989)
