Description

ACCLAIMED DARK FANTASY SERIES RETURNS TO LIFE!

From award-winning fantasy author Jim Melvin comes a new three-volume edition of his dark fantasy series, The Death Wizard Chronicles. Volumes 2 and 3 will debut later in 2025. Dive into a fantastical realm where magic, monsters, and mayhem collide, crafting an unforgettable adventure. With a unique blend of fierce battles, shadowy magic, and a richly woven narrative, this series explores profound themes of transformation and sacrifice. This isn’t just a tale about dragons, wizards, and warriors. It’s about the choices that shape our destinies. Join the journey and uncover the secrets of Triken!

~~Only a Death Wizard can die. And live again.~~

For a thousand years, none rivaled the power of Torg, the Death Wizard who ruled his people and maintained peace on Triken. But a new menace has suddenly arisen. The evil sorcerer Invictus poses a threat greater than Torg has ever faced, his insatiable hunger for power casting a dark shadow over the forces of good. When Invictus imprisons the Death Wizard in a horrendous pit bored into the solid rock of a frozen mountain, Triken's fate hangs precariously in the balance. Torg becomes freedom’s last hope. But to harness the full extent of his powers, he first must die and be reborn.

Action-packed and yet profound, this dark fantasy saga will thrill and challenge fans of the genre in new and thought-provoking ways.

A Note From the Publisher

In 2012, The Death Wizard Chronicles was published by a midsize press where it enjoyed considerable success. However, the rights recently reverted to me, and I’m excited to announce the release of new editions of the acclaimed dark fantasy series. Think of these as the “author’s cut.”

What you’re about to read is an enhanced version of The DW Chronicles! I’ve repackaged the original six-book series into three volumes, with each volume containing two books. If you’ve already read DW, there’s enough fresh stuff to make a second go worth your while. And if you’re new to this fantastical world, now’s the perfect time to join the action-packed journey. This isn’t just a tale about dragons, wizards, and warriors. It’s about the choices that shape our destinies.

Fair warning: The DW Chronicles contains graphic violence and a few scenes of explicit sex. It’s intended for audiences 18 and older. If you can handle Game of Thrones, this will be a piece of cake.
