The Silver Sheen
An upcoming novel by C.L.Patterson
The key to one man’s dream for ultimate power was in the extortion of another man’s most prized possession; his son. Erith, an egoistic wizard, enlisted the forgotten race of earth-swimmers, the Earthibians, to capture Drake, the son of Maerek. When his plan succeeds, Erith convinces him that when he achieves his designs, there will be no death, and teaches him his dark art of manipulation and fear. Desek, a hermit wizard, saved Drake from drowning in a spring, becoming a lifelong friend to Maerek and Draconas. When Draconas is captured, Desek makes it his duty and swears to Maerek that he will find and save his son. But will his devotion to his friends give him the strength to defeat Erith?
