Synopsis

THE FINAL ADVENTURE IN THE PHENOMENAL SERIES!

After an incredible 35-year run, the story of Rod Gallowglass — the Warlock in Spite of Himself — comes to its fantastic finale in the weird and wonderful world of Gramarye. When Gwendolyn — the witch-wife of Rod Gallowglass, the Lord High Warlock of Gramarye — suddenly dies, she leaves behind a husband dangerously unhinged by grief and a land without a Protector.

So it's the worst time for the Gallowglass’s ancient enemies — Durer and the Mocker — to return for one last bid to overthrow the monarchs of Gramarye and seize power. Stirring up a peasant revolt, manipulating politics to trigger a civil war between the Crown and the Lords, all while orchestrating a monster invasion and attempting to turn the Gallowglass children against each other, the Kingdom of Gramarye may face its greatest challenge yet.

About this title

About the Author

Christopher Stasheff was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spanned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. Chris always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tended to pre-script his life, but couldn't understand why other people never got their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He wrote novels because it's the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.
