The Enixar Book Set Volumes 1 - 3


Book Description

Sorcerer King Gudrunn rules Gramadon with an iron fist, crushing all who oppose him through the dark and powerful magic of The Enixar. Corrupted by the ancient artifact, Gudrunn's thirst for conquest cannot be satisfied - but when his lust for power leads him to commit one atrocity too many, even his closest advisor Meriaus is forced to take action against the king. But Meriaus is not alone in this ambition - and like sharks tasting blood in the water, when one man sees an opportunity to claim the throne of Gramadon, others are quick to follow. Only by taking the hand of the God-King's own granddaughter Amadalia can Meriaus hope to bring peace and prosperity to the universe - but this brilliant young sorceress has ambitions of her own, not to mention magical powers she's kept secret since childhood. Together, they make a formidable alliance - but are they formidable enough to stand against a power-mad God-King seeking an ancient power that could tear the very universe apart?
