Wilfong the Wizard

About the Book

Wilfong the Wizard is set in ancient Atlantis (one hundred years before the fall). One lead character belongs to the Order of Wynot the Wise, one of several groups of practitioners of magick, and is its highest-ranking member. Thanks to a long-standing royal edict against practitioning—the violation of which is punishable by death—the practitioners must meet in secret. The Order of Wynot must now deal with a new threat. A rogue practitioner vows to destroy the Order—and Wilfong—because of some slight to his dignity in the past, and it is up to Wilfong to deal with him. Following a number of clues as to the whereabouts of the rogue, the wizard embarks upon a trek through space and time.
