The Sceptre of Fire
About this audiobook
The Sceptre of Fire is an old school fantasy romp: it’s got elves, dwarves, orcs, necromancers, and a campy mage. But there’s a twist—a pretty big one. The orcs? They’re not really the bad guys. The necromancer? Yeah, he’s got history. And the knights in shining armour aren’t always noble…
The necromancer was once a pretty decent guy: he killed pirates on the high seas and did his duty as an Empire subject. But he loved another man, and for that, he had to be punished. Now driven by an insatiable thirst for revenge, he has turned to dark magic—and enlisted the help of orcs. The orcs have their own, very good reasons to hate the Empire. Driven out from the Empire lands and into a freezing, inhospitable territory, the orcs know that hunger is a stronger motivator than most.
Opposing him are Radu, a mad mage with a penchant for boys and fashion, along with Haraldur—a talented dwarven mage smith. At first they care little for a distant conflict, but things escalate once the necromancer, in desperation, makes a pact with an ancient entity…
About the author
I started writing at the age of 14. Yes, really! My first book was the Necromancer, and while it isn’t as technically polished as my later works, it showcased my potential as a writer: I could write dark, phantasmagoric scenes, and weave a complex plot filled with adventure.
Today, I have a dayjob as a data scientist (currently teaching at university), though I hope to become a full-time writer one day.
