Ruth Serbel's life was turned upside down the day he fled from the World Tower. Ever since, he's lived as Wizard to Lord Calypse of Anatol.
Things in Anatol are not as quiet as they seem these days, as great threat seems to impose from all directions. Feeling the pressure, Riftan Calypse calls upon Ruth and the Knights of Remdragon to embark on an emergency expedition to a far off land, The Below.
They seek one thing: to track down a powerful wizard who Ruth hopes will be a valuable asset to Anatol. However, things are never what they seem and soon Ruth will discover what can turn friends into foes.

Ruins of Camelot
Ruins of Camelot by G. Norman Lippert "In a time of wizards, vampires, and werewolves, she dared to be the most amazing thing of all... herself." As the kingdom of Camelot descends into complacency, an ambitiously sadistic madman known as Merodach advances his rogue armies, recruiting by the sword and threatening revolt. 18-year-old Princess Gabriella is the only one who understands the severity of the threat, but is powerless to convince her father or her brave commoner husband, Darrick. With defeat all but certain, Gabriella sets out on a final, separate quest. Her plan: to confront and defeat the madman Merodach before his armies can destroy everything she loves. Alone and on foot, she must cross the haunted magical wasteland known as the Tempest Barrens, where she is beset by mutant beasts, capricious magical creatures, and even the walking dead. In the end, wounded and hopeless, Gabriella finally confronts her nemesis and learns his final horrible secret: he is not alone, and the forces he has allied with are far more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined.Complete

Then again, why did such a young girl end up on the run in the first place? ****Story Extract **** "Enough, Cal," the dark-haired man stepped forward to stand beside his companion, "I think he understands. Get on with it," "Just building the atmosphere," the one addressed as 'Cal' returned a toothy grin to his fellow aristocrat as the grip on his weapon relaxed, "Weren't you getting excited for a moment there? Come on Syl, old man, we're here for the whole ambience, don't you want more?" It was evident that these two shared a bond deeper than that of travelling companions. 'Syl' did not deign to reply but the other was not offended in the least. Once he released the sword, the grey, lacklustre eyes of the other returned to surveying the room. Cal gave an imperceptible shrug, as if he were used to the apathetic ways of the other. He turned to Ruli again, "You! Present us with your finest, no, present us with everything you have," Ruli did not want to risk a second outburst, "A moment, sirs, I'll go fetch them at once," "Are they through here?" "Yes, sirs, please wait," "Out of the way, we'll see for ourselves," "But sir," Ruli protested, throwing a desperate glance at Syl but to no avail this time. The other did not return his glance. After another moment of futile hesitation he moved out of their way. ** CONTENT WARNING: Contains references to assault, depictions of violence **Complete
