The Heart of the Slave

De: A.B. Blair

Narrado por: A.B. Blair

Merdoc has returned…To the world, he is the most terrifying and powerful sorcerer to have ever lived, a tyrannical conquering force accompanied by his armies comprised of men and the unimaginable: mages, dragons, vampires…and even goblins. To the Northern Lands and their Kings, he is the greatest betrayer and defiler of the most sacred treaties. To the people of Croiss, he was once their own great king, chosen by their guardian star, before he abandoned them for his crusade of power. For many, he is their kidnapper and usurper as he binds these victims against their own will to be his puppets. For two, he is even their father. And for his greatest enemy, Merdoc is the soul reason for a never quenchable thirst for revenge. But for the Merks, he is nothing more than their wretched slave driver, the one who holds their loved ones’ lives in his hands, forcing them to wittingly accomplish his relentless will. And for Callii, he is the one person that must be overcome if the Merks are ever to be free.

But there is no chance of this, for Merdoc is undefeatable and untouchable, never risks a battle he is not certain to win, and has never lost a single thing that he has claimed as his own. It seems the only hope for those who stand against him is that the Star of Chance finally counter Merdoc’s foresight and for the first time, produce an unforeseen fate.
