Magi's Curse: Book 1 of the the Legendary Artifacts Series - Hardcover

by Christopher James Harris (Author)

Emestrians have a saying: "Our bones are as hard as rocks, and our muscles as thick as the frozen tundra." Anyone who has had the misfortune of getting in a barroom brawl with one can attest to the veracity of their claims.

Join Bronwyn Amyna, Captain of the Emestrian Guardcorps, as she seeks out the gods' lost Legendary Artifacts in a desperate bid to save her homeland from starvation. With an enemy nation's siege, her people have resorted to eating vermin to survive. When a smuggler with knowledge of a powerful artifact within Emestria's borders is captured, King Artorius Bryant tasks Captain Amyna with escorting the smuggler through the dangerous White North to the mountain tomb where the artifact lies. Her unlikely allies, Clara, the captured smuggler, and Miro, an erratic scholar, threaten her quest as much as the giant leopards, wolves, hydra, and a mad god do. This emotionally gripping fantasy features relatable characters as their fortitude and resolve are tested, broken, and reforged.

Four hundred years after the Gods and Goddesses abandoned the mortal realm, Defurge, the mad God of Fire, remains imprisoned beneath Dalmarask. Fria, the Goddess of Ice, Fate, and Death, foresees his escape and orchestrates a mission to stop him.
