The Dark Wizard of Donkerk
Two dark wizards steal a baby from an orphanage, but when they can’t bring themselves to sacrifice him they adopt him instead.
Across the kingdom, a young princess is locked in the castle by her paranoid father.
Unknown to either of them, prophets sing of their entwined fates.
Author’s Note: This work is essentially stuck in ‘first draft’ state until I can find the time and incentive to put other things aside and devote myself to fixing the numerous typos, restructuring the plot a bit, punching up the prose, and some general tidying up to make it the novel that it’s meant to be. It’s presented here for your enjoyment, if you’re the sort of person who likes to read mostly-finished things, but I’m very aware that it’s not in its ideal final state. Consider yourself warned. Special thanks to ketura for making fixes to the Scrivener-compiled HTML.
