Shadow Of The Wicked

Twin brothers-a sorcerer and a warrior-are each tortured for their opposing convictions. Will magick be restored or extinguished? Magick had once ruled The Three Kingdoms, but it is now banished and condemnable. Twin brothers, Jaromir and Talmage have been imprisoned, but for different convictions. Jaromir wakes up chained to a table filled with dread, while Talmage is thrown into an underground labyrinth. Jaromir has devoted his life to mastering weapons as the Empress' Guard and forming a secret order to rid the world of magick. His lifetime devotion is useless when his limbs are chained. Unless he divulges the order's plans. Jaromir is tortured and his body pushed to breaking but he refuses to betray the order--until his wife is dragged into the room. Jaromir is forced to make a choice between his honor and his beloved wife. Which will he choose? Meanwhile, Talmage is thrown into an underground labyrinth. Since his parent's death, he had practiced the art of magick in secret from his brother's order. Magick had been his savor and his security through his troubled life. No matter what Talmage tried, the ghosts of his past haunt him--especially in the dark passages. At first, he thought he was alone, for one last trial, until familiar voices echo from the shadows. Both brothers must escape from their wicked fate, identify their outgrown relationship, and swallow their pride, before it's too late. If one of them fails; they both suffer.
