    About this ebook

    Magic was the province of the wealthy and well connected, or in the case of necromancy, the insane. He was not sufficiently rich or high born to train as an artiphicer or unifier. A house slave from a Dark City estate could not hope to gather the resources to become any of these, let alone access the ley-nexus locations needed to gather arcane energy. His would have to be a less orthodox route. His access to arcane knowledge, fuelled by his tremendous desire to escape would lead Kasus down a shadowed path few would dare consider.

    Author

    D.A. Rogers

    I live in sunny Perth, Western Australia. I work in security and I.T. My interests include military history, physics, strategy gaming, martial arts, sketching, engineering, comedy, game theory and etymology. I like to read about unusual settings and bizarre worlds that are a little outside the regular comfort zone. I like to contemplate the impossible and wrap my head around alien places and unorthodox inhabitants. I primarily write sci-fi or sword and sorcery. I am currently writing about the world of Archea, a moonless planet dominated by reptiles, but host to numerous stranded visiting species, including humans. Because it isn't tilted on its axis, Archea experiences only summer and winter and in both hemispheres simultaneously. It is a large tropical and very volcanic planet. The people of Archea struggle for space, as well as resources both arcane and mundane.
