The Scepter of Namiss (The Books of Braenyn 1)

By John Grover

Meet Braenyn, elf, thief, magic-user. He lives a rogue's life with his lover, the shape-shifter, Tarrow. Together they try to survive and better their situation in a mad world filled with warlords, cut-throats, supernatural horrors, trows, gibbelins and ogres.

Following his own path, Braenyn undertakes dangerous quests and missions seeking wealth and treasure each time taking bigger risks. When he gets wind of the fabled scepter of King Namiss, he sets out on a search that will change everything.
