Fires of the Dead - Jed Herne

A thieving sorcerer makes one last grasp for glory.

Wisp is old. Too old for a thief, too old for a sorcerer, and too old to heal all the scars he's torn in the world. He needs to retire, and he needs it soon.

Rumours have spread that a sorcerer's skull is hidden in a desolate, haunted forest. And people will pay big money if that rumour turns into truth.

Wisp leads his misfit thieving crew into the forest, hoping to win the riches he so badly deserves. But when rivals descend upon the forest and nightmares come to life, he'll need all his old tricks to survive - and some new ones, too.

Wisp might be long in the tooth, but he can still bite. Or at least that's what he hopes ...

"I honestly did not put this one down til I finished." - Katelyn Dickinson, editor of From Cover to Cover.

"The perfect read for someone looking to be quickly immersed in a magic system unlike anything else." - Nicole Wallace, editor of Synopses by Sarge.

"A common misconception about fantasy novels is that they are all epic, thousand page long tomes. Fires of the Dead proves that you don't need to write reams of narrative to fit all the components of a classic fantasy novel into one tale." - Rebecca.
