The Wizard

Magic is evil, its practitioners killed by the Knights of Fedoris, but to save his life and that of his friends, Stevin has to master it

In the land of Ea, magic runs in bloodlines. But it is also believed to be evil, with the Order of the Knights of Fedoris ready to crack down on anyone who shows any hint of magic.

Stevin has hidden his magical ability all his life. When he and his friends are abducted and carried away to an island by the Wizards who only want them for their magic, he realises that learning to control his powers may be his only chance of survival. But why is the leader of the wizards so interested in his friends and why is the enigmatic wizard Gertin offering to help him?

Beset on all sides and unable to trust anyone, Stevin must learn to accept his magic and to fight for everyone he holds dear if he's to survive. But can he learn to master his powers while hiding his true potential from his captors?

The Wizard is the first book of The Knights of Fedoris, a queer epic fantasy adventure that features morally grey characters, hard choices and high stakes.

An author and editor, Niranjan's biggest ambition is to have a character named Garth in every book they write. Niranjan writes books rooted in mythical worlds, and their stories are often a combination of magic and futuristic technology.

When they are not writing or editing, Niranjan can be found cooking or just lying on their couch watching or rewatching C Dramas and writing fanfiction.
