About the author
Janny Wurts
111 books2,055 followersJanny Wurts is the author of War of Light and Shadow series, and To Ride Hell's Chasm. Her eighteen published titles include a trilogy in audio, a short story collection, as well as the internationally best selling Empire trilogy, co authored with Raymond E. Feist, with works translated into fifteen languages worldwide. Her latest title in the Wars of Light and Shadow series, Destiny's Conflict, culminates more than thirty years of carefully evolved ideas. The cover images on the books, both in the US and abroad, are her own paintings, depicting her vision of characters and setting.
Through her combined talents as a writer/illustrator, Janny has immersed herself in a lifelong ambition: to create a seamless interface between words and pictures that will lead reader and viewer into the imagination. Her lavish use of language invites the mind into a crafted realm of experience, with characters and events woven into a complex tapestry, and drawn with an intensity to inspire active fuel for thought. Her research includes a range of direct experience, lending her fantasy a gritty realism, and her scenes involving magic crafted with intricate continuity. A self-taught painter, she draws directly from the imagination, creating scenes in a representational style that blurs the edges between dream and reality. She makes few preliminary sketches, but envisions her characters and the scenes that contain them, then executes the final directly from the initial pencil drawing.
The seed idea for the Wars of Light and Shadow series occurred, when, in the course of researching tactic and weapons, she viewed a documentary film on the Battle of Culloden Moor. This was the first time she had encountered that historical context of that brutal event, with the embroidery of romance stripped from it. The experience gave rise to an awakening, which became anger, that so often, our education, literature and entertainment slant history in a manner that equates winners and losers with moral right and wrong, and the prevalent attitude, that killing wars can be seen as justifiable solutions when only one side of the picture is presented.
Her series takes the stance that there are two sides to every question, and follows two characters who are half brothers. One a bard trained as a master of magecraft, and the other a born ruler with a charismatic passion for justice, have become cursed to lifelong enmity. As one sibling raises a devoted mass following, the other tries desperately to stave off defeat through solitary discipline and cleverness. The conflict sweeps across an imaginary world, dividing land and people through an intricate play of politics and the inborn prejudices of polarized factions already set at odds. Readers are led on a journey that embraces both viewpoints. The story explores the ironies of morality which often confound our own human condition - that what appears right and just, by one side, becomes reprehensible when seen from the opposite angle. What is apparently good for the many, too often causes devastating suffering to the nonconformist minority. Through the interactions between the characters themselves, the reader is left to their own discretion to interpret the moral impact of events.
Says Janny of her work, "I chose to frame this story against a backdrop of fantasy because I could handle even the most sensitive issues with the gloves off - explore the myriad angles of our troubled times with the least risk of offending anyone's personal sensibilities. The result, I can hope, is an expanding journey of the spirit that explores the grand depths, and rises to the challenge of mapping the ethereal potential of an evolving planetary consciousness... explore free thought and compassionate understanding."
Beyond writing, Janny's award winning paintings have been showcased in exhibitions of imaginative artwork, among them a commemorative exhibition for NASA's 25th Anniversary; the Art of the Cosmos at Hayden Planet

Originally read on Evil is a Matter of Perspective: An Anthology of Antagonists. Janny Wurtsis one of my favorite authors ever: she can write hefty tomes or short stories and she never ceases to spellbind me with her imagination and immersive storytelling.
This story stands well on its own, but it's also part of the Wars of Light and Shadow universe and I was widely anticipating it because it shines light on one of the most Machiavellian and morally complex characters I've ever read about.
"Folly, to imagine he might slip the leash of a predator able to refigure natural order at whim."

Opening notes, this novella can only be purchased directly from the author's website https://www.paravia.com/JannyWurts/bo...
**Important**the author, Janny Wurts, strongly recommends that this story is to be best enjoyed (particularly to avoid spoilers) after one has read the novel "Stormed Fortress", which is book 8 in the "Wars of Light and Shadow".
Please peruse the author's website for suggested reading order of the novellas, in relation to the different arcs in the "Wars of Light and Shadow".
Davien, nicknamed "the Betrayer" is perhaps one of the most controversial figures in "the Wars of Light and Shadow". The "renegade" Fellowship of Seven Sorcerer, is condemned by many as instigating mass murder, political upheaval, and causing the downfall of the High Kings of Athera.
But is Davien's reputation well-earned? Is he truly a blackguard? Or merely a man of misunderstood intentions?
When a revered and powerful seeress summons Davien to help battle a sinister cult of necromancers, what will Davien do? And at what cost will he attempt to thwart the dark plot that is brewing?
Meanwhile, townborn smuggler Toler Sen Beckit is down on his luck. He's betrayed his smuggling cohorts, and they've paid him back by getting him thrown into the gaols at Riverton.
Toler is also grieving the loss of his dear sister Enna, who disappeared since childhood, potentially lured into a life of service to the Koriani Enchantresses. Though Toler never knows for certain what really happened to Enna.
Facing ten years hard labour for his sentence, Toler has few options. But one is presented to him when Davien frees him from jail.
"Cold sober, he might have remembered the warning: no one who crossed paths with one of the Seven survived the experience unchanged."
Especially when the one crossing paths with is Davien, who is in bed with a Dragon - most feared of all Athera's creatures - concealing things from his Fellowship comrades, and courting disaster on the scale of the complete annihilation of humankind.
But to outwit rival Koriani sorceresses, and stay a step ahead of the dangerous necromancers, sacrifices must be made.
A brilliant addition to the iconic "Wars of Light and Shadow" main series, while most the short story "Black Bargain" 's narrative focuses on the dangerous but critical mission of clever townborn smuggler Toler, Davien is still the main character of this short story.
Perhaps one of the most gifted and cerebral of the Fellowship Sorcerers, Damien is an absolutely fascinating character. When reading the main series, a reader may find that, at the best of times, there is this extreme dichotomy to the motivations, decisions, and results of the Fellowship's plans.
On numerous occasions, throughout "Wars of Light and Shadow", what the Fellowship does can seem callous, horrific, and calculating, while still being utterly noble, altruistic, and compassionate. That's because the Fellowship, sorcerers of unimaginable power and responsibility, are playing a game on a HUGE stage, and their actions (or inactions) do not hinge on the life of a single person, or even a race of people. They are juggling with an enormity of consequences that dwarf comprehension, and they do whatever they must to cause the least amount of harm, to the greatest amount of beings.
Bound to a personal code of non-interference, and the Law of Major Balance ("no force of nature should be used without consent, or against the will of another living being"), responsible for terms and conditions of settlement of humankind on Athera that ensure survival of the mystical Paravian immortals (the agreement setting out these terms is called the "Compact") the Fellowship must make seemingly impossible choices, the weight of which would stymie lesser beings.
No sorcerer, perhaps, exemplifies this more than Davien. A maverick, an "outside-the-box" thinker by nature, imagine how the actions of someone predisposed to that kind of reasoning, combined with the Fellowship mandate, might appear to observers? It's obvious there's much more behind why Davien does what he does than meets the eye.
Thus, the theme of "the end justifying the means" plays most heavily here, in this short story. The reader might likely be asking themselves, after reading "Black Bargain", "what decision causes the least amount of harm, and is there any other way than to do bad, in order to ultimately do good?" I know those questions kept running through my mind as the events of this poignant, incredible short story unfolded.
30-page short story like "Black Bargain", or 600-page novel, Wurts never fails to provide the reader with an incredible sense of setting, time, place in history, perspective, and fabulous worldbuilding. Besides insights into the ruthless Koriani enchantresses (especially the haughty and calculating Morriel Prime), their inner workings, and important talismans like the Great Waystone (and how it wound up in the hands of the Koriani's enemies), the sinister Gray Kravolir cult, the mysterious Biedar tribes, and the ominous political workings in Hanshire that seed future dark dealings explored in the main series, the gem of the worldbuilding in "Black Bargain" is the appearance of the great Dragon, Seshkrozchiel!
"Not a small, carnivorous wyvern, but a great drake, fire-breathing, eighty-five spans of shimmering, scaled might, from armoured crest to ebony tale spikes. Before her mailed talons, the Sorcerer seemed like a toothpick, spiked upright while the massive wyrm, snaked around him, her wide golden eye and slit pupil a cloth yard across, terrifying as staring into the abyss."
The magnificent dragons (drakes) who have the power of dream creation (or destruction), are perhaps the most powerful and ancient of beings we are treated to in Wurts' universe. Wild, untamed, mercurial, and whose dreams can escape their control, the dragons are great wildcards in terms of the fate of Athera. Learning more about these fantastic beings who inhabit volcanic rock, whose foreclaws can grow as tall as a human, and whose fire can level cities to the ground, was incredible, and I can't wait to see more of them in the main series!
And, naturally, in terms of writing style, "Black Bargain" is replete with the resplendent, lush, and transcendent prose we have become accustomed to in a Janny Wurts book.
"Black Bargain" is a marvellous, exceptionally well-written tale of a renegade sorcerer's choices, ponderous, appalling decisions made out of necessity, inauspicious magic, disturbing back-room dealings, a spy planted in the midst, the fate of humankind riding in the balance, and yes, dragons!
To accentuate your reading of Janny Wurts "Wars of Light and Shadow", "Black Bargain" is a
MUST-read - but again, ONLY after completing "Stormed Fortress".

Reread because I just got this as a short story with a brand new cover that is simply fabulous!!
This new edition is only available on the author's site: www.paravia.com
For all those of you who have read The Wars of Light and Shadow Series, this short story is a MUST READ.
It reveals how Davien earned the name of Betrayer, as well as the WHY behind his relationship with Seshkrozchiel.
These mere 28 pages also shed a lot more light on the interaction between Koriathain, Biedar, Fellowship and drakes and even reveal how a certain ancient artefact went missing from the Koriani Prime's chests.
Written in Janny's beautiful and elegant style, Black Bargain is a little page turner that will have you hooked from the very beginning.
I wonder if I'll ever rate something written by this brilliant author with less than a 5. A huge series or a short story - regardless of what she writes, she shines!!!

Black Bargain (Wars of Light & Shadow) is the epic start of this journey and is a fantastic read. I am addicted to this author's work and have been since I first read her work back when I was in my twenties.
Jannys’ work needs to be unraveled due to its intricacies layer by layer. Therefore you will not be getting any spoilers from me. Her work entices us to confront the darkness within the narrative, suggesting that those who venture into this world will want to remain amongst the pages. She masterfully weaves together a tapestry of suspenseful storytelling.
The narrative unfolds through edge-of-your-seat plots and chilling enigmas that ensnared me from the very first page. This story seamlessly blends supernatural and paranormal elements.
This series is gripping and exciting and a tangled web that leaves you breathless and craving more. It is filled with loss and hope, magic and danger, suspense and tension, and action within a world where chaos reigns.

An profoundly shattering insight into past events in Wurt's world of Athera.
Janny spins her spidery web of intrigued, slowly revealing the subtle nuances in the formative decisions fan favourite character Davien had to make.
One gains an insight into the stink of pervasive corruption long fermenting in the nation of Havish and just how long this sorcerous game has been played out.
Highly reccomend but only in the aftermath of Stormed Fortress!

A short story to clarify certain aspects. Great short story.
November 19, 2019
This novella reveals that Davien the betrayer was anything but. He shouldered a great burden that would have wiped out mankind.
As he was sworn to secrecy no one knew what he did, not even the other Fellowship Sorcerers.
If you are a Janny Wurts fan you should read this. As always her work is magnificent.
If you haven’t discovered Janny Wurts,
What are you waiting for. She will bring you joy. He will touch your heart.
I give this short works by highest rating.

This is another short story set in the Wars of Light and Shadow series. It's somewhere in the ballpark of 28 pages, and those 28 pages were chock full of useful background!
The story deals primarily with Toler, a smuggler just busted, and the notorious Davien the Betrayer. It also co-stars Morriel, (the conniver), with a cameo by the dragon Seshkrozchiel. Davien browbeats Toler into a scheme to intervene in the infamous historical Hanshire conspiracy. Toler accepts since the alternative is serving ten years on a convict ship as an oarsman.
Davien was always one of my favorites. He's such an enigmatic character of the main series, so this short story shed a lot of light on his questionable choices. No wonder that he did the things for which he's reviled! Just when you think a villain is properly villainous, along comes some back story to change your opinion.
Anything Janny Wurts writes is worth reading. One of these days I'm going to raid her waste basket for her shopping and to-do lists. They're probably just as well-written as her books!

Nice backstory on how the uprising against monarchy started and Davien became known as a betrayer.
And apparently Morriel is over 500 years old, that's an interesting new detail. I don't know why I didn't expect that considering the seven also seem to be ageless and functionally immortal (unless someone manages to kill them in battle. We get to hear when Luhaine became incorporeal).

Read this in one sitting! DO NOT READ until after Stormed Fortress! Nice story giving background on several big events in the series! Anything involving the Fellowship and Koriani makes me happy. So many little reveals will change your reading of the main series!
