Forged by a demon. Foretold by destruction. Found by a madman.
The Phoenix & The Scrolls present brave King Kyle of Tarylia with a supernatural foe...not to mention a resurrected gay wizard named Pomothus whose favorite spell is blasting balls! In the great tradition of classic "Weird Tales" pulp and such groundbreaking authors as Robert E. Howard and Roger Zelazny, Francis DiPietro has created an homage to dark humor and high adventure.
Excerpt
By the time the doors broke down it was too late. Pomothus turned himself to vapor upon seeing the guards, and the men swatted vainly at his smoke trail as he escaped with his prize.
From outside the window, his voice filtered in: "Keep your vigils, my brave little sentries, for I shall return when you least expect it, and blast all of your balls."
A half-zythian bard gets caught up in an affair with the Duchess of Highlake. The Duke wants him dead and our hero is forced to flee through a forest that no one has ever returned from.
