The Silver Coven reigns supreme over the Empire of Magic, the emperor but a figure head guided by the will of the five wizards. Them and their fellow mages guide every aspect of life inside the empire. For good or evil as one may perceive it.
Enter Grady, a thief who has just been found guilty of murder and is awaiting his execution. While in his cell he is visited by a nobleman who gives Grady the most the unlikely and impossible of tasks. The task in question is to destroy the Silver Coven and the wizards who control it.
Such a task would be impossible for any normal man to accomplish. How does a regular person fight not only one person with magic but a whole organization of mages? The answer is that Grady is not ordinary man, he is in fact the sixth wizard, the Black Wizard.
The Black Wizard is a grimdark historical fantasy novel. If you like George R.R. Martin, Joe Abercombie or Mark Lawrence then this is novel for you. Filled with magic, sword fights, and twists and turns to keep readers delighted.
