The Wizard's Redemption: Book One: The Lords of Edgemont

Legend has it that the people of the Goddess Elisia were safely underground until the time was right for them to venture into the world. Once on the surface they found a land full of wonders and dangers. In that moment the Goddess Elisia let herself be known. Her people prospered as they explored their new world. As time passed they realized they were not alone. They found themselves surrounded by enemies. In that moment, Elisia gave them the gift of magic. It was enough to turn the tide. They made a a desperate journey through the mountains until they found a land they could call their own. As generations passed, the Kingdom of Elisia grew into a world power. Centuries later, a small rebellion quickly grew into a war threatening the existence of the Rakans, one of the Kingdom's allies. The King sends an army to help protect their trade routes but soon find themselves outmatched by a superior force. Stanwick, a young but gifted wizard, finds himself on the front lines of the rebellion. He is forced to give all of himself in order to save the Elisian army from defeat.

Stifled by his father's expectations, he longs for the freedom to chart his own course. In the city of Fenwick a shoemaker named Edwin lives his life as his father did before him. He is content to teach his son his trade in the relative safety of the city walls. Lastly, Alister, a hermit, must find the strength to leave his cabin deep in the forest to face the past he can no longer outrun. Their lives will be changed forever when a mysterious enemy threatens the Kingdom.
