The Azure Wizard: A Legend of the Fallen Baronies

by Nicholas Trandahl

Wizardcraft is dead. It is a part of the ancient past of the realm known as the Three Baronies. However, that is about to change. A young storyteller of a mountainous land in the north travels into the heart of the baronies to make something of himself. The storyteller finds himself in a tale of his own, one enveloped in adventure, danger, duty and love. At the heart of his tale glares the rebirth of Wizardcraft into the Three Baronies. As the only living wizard left in the realm, our storyteller finds himself up against impossible odds.


There are numerous things in the Three Baronies that would put the fledgling Wizard's life in danger from mythic beasts and barbaric tribes, to a murderous shape-shifting monster and an ancient prophetic order bent on the Wizard's destruction. This is a story of destiny and the return of magic. This is the story of The Azure Wizard.
