Grimm's Loss

For generations, an uneasy peace has persisted between the mage-kingdom of Sacreth and its southern neighbor and rival, the Sokhal Empire. For Border Warden Eldwen Grimm, "peace" has been a relative term. Having spent his adult life protecting the people of Sacreth from danger, he wants nothing more than to enjoy a quiet future with his wife and daughter. But Grimm's new assignment will prove to be more than the sleepy posting he'd hoped for. It has been over a century since the border province of the Danalb left the declining Empire and became a part of Sacreth, but there are many in the region who continue to see the mages as occupiers, and others who would stir those old feelings to advance their own hidden agendas. Even as Grimm arrives at the frontier town of Bel Darinder with his wife, Mage Miranda Hael of the Order, and his young daughter Ashandra, dark magic and treacherous enemies gather that will threaten not only Grimm himself, but everyone and everything he holds dear.

"Grimm's Loss" is the second book in a trilogy that covers both the adventures and misfortunes of a hero that wants little to do with magic yet who finds himself surrounded by it. The book is part of the Mages of Sacreth series ("The Labyrinth," "Of Spells and Demons," "Grimm's War"). It takes place approximately ten years after "Grimm's War" and fifteen years before "The Labyrinth."
