Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. No doubt he's wearing iridescent silk robes that couldn't protect his frail body from a light breeze. The hat's a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing, covered in esoteric symbols that would instantly show every other mage where this gets his magic? Wouldn't want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object).\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nYep. Behold the mighty wizard.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNow open your eyes and let me show you what a \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you're probably not going to like it, because we're violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAt least, until such irritating concepts as \u003ci\u003efriendship \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ethe end of the world\u003c\/i\u003e get in the way.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMy name is Cade Ombra, and though I currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist, I used to have a far more noble-sounding job title - until I discovered the people I worked for weren't quite as noble as I'd believed. Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTime to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sebastien de Castell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365634834610,"sku":"9781529422795","price":305.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/405024_65371a566e2f43.43128768_9781529422795.jpg?v=1789088898","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/malevolent-seven-1","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
