12 An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power-but it comes with a price. 
    
    ~~~
    
    When a King has three sons and only one kingdom to inherit, he raises his heirs to serve different purposes.  Fjell-og-dal had a wise and business-friendly Crown Prince (Pawel) who could rule justly in times of peace, and a decisive warrior in the 2nd prince (Olbretch). What would such a king do with a 3rd son? 
    
    Anselm was a fool, a prince stuffed full of fairy tales, useless in days of peace or war. Or was he?  Neither were the cause of devastation in their kingdom-something malignant was changing their world. Perhaps the king had known he needed a 3rd path, where someone was trained to understand the strange ways of fairytales, in order to save them all. The problem is that Anselm isn't a fool, and he doesn't trust what his father made of him because a man trained for foolishness isn't needed once the folly has been averted.  Every step his father laid out for him was a brilliant lunacy-a lie wrapped in truth.
    
    He brought his brothers along as a precaution-to save them or to save himself? The 3rd prince had no clue.
    
    What awaited the brothers at the end of their journey was immense power with a terrible price-but only 1 had to pay. Would they make a good decision in a series of consequences that they could not run from?All Rights Reserved
