The Throne of Magnus

The Throne of Magnus is the second novel in The Ballad of Liuwrend. Occurring eighteen years after the end of The Trials of Magnus, this novel sees an explosive new threat in the form of an invasion by Liuwrend's neighboring continent, Atul. This unique force commands an enormous army of Magitech Constructions, machines that run on mana that is forcibly extracted from both the people of Liuwrend and the land itself. Magnus finds himself a prisoner, unable to take to the frontlines of the battle and instead must rely on a War Orc named Az'ral to take to the field in his stead. With the stakes higher than ever before, can Magnus do what it takes to save his land again?

The Fall of Magnus

The final story in The Ballad of Liuwrend, The Fall of Magnus, is the thrilling conclusion to the dreadful invasion that began in The Throne of Magnus.
