Rogues of Magic

Forsaken to be a killer and sent to be a destroyer, Sviska must choose his own path. Sviska is a man of the shadows, an assassin without any one place to call his own. But in the Far North, he discovers a secret. Magic, long thought lost to the world, is alive. The genocide to destroy every elf, wizard, and sacred being of old is not yet complete. Sviska's masters work the strings of the world and he has been sent for a task he does not even fully understand yet. When at last he feels he has what he has always wanted, darkness falls upon the world. He must rise to face an enemy more terrible than any he has ever met. Fate will force him into a terrible choice.

Once he was an assassin. Now, he is something more. Sviska seeks to protect that which he once called evil. Fleeing the destruction of the last refuge of magic in the land, he sails across the Glacial Seas with his new companions. Their path is unclear. The Galhedriss Arcana, the sacred book of magic, is safe from the grasp of The Order, but for how long is unknown. In a world long against magic, they meet a mysterious half-elf that knows of their secrets and offers help against those that hunt them. But an old evil is awakening. The Order of men has gained a new ally, a mysterious entity of fog and shadows that wields arcane powers not seen since the time of the gods. To complete their tasks, the Saints will travel to the ruined cities of the elves and dwarves in search of a mystical artifact called the Dwarven Hand, but they will not do so unnoticed. Sviska works to fight against the Order and this new evil before any hope of magic returning is forever lost. But he has not escaped from his shadowy past, and his betrayal to his masters will have a steep price.
