![Necromancer: Book Ten Of The Spellmonger Series by [Mancour, Terry]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Tg%2Bwt3sDL._SY346_.jpg)
Many writers aspire to create a fantasy world as rich and immersive as this one and can plumb it until about the 4th solid book...after that it's same same but different (see the Shannara Chronicles)
Characters almost as detailed as Patrick Rothfuss but nowhere near as self indulgent
With the Spellmonger and his adventures you get a fantasic story made up of many smaller stories, unique and consistent characters (who grow and mature), comedy, creative and complex magic system, a detailed world history, and no pesky changes to basic concepts of time, measurement or the amount of moons to try and make it feel different....
The first ten (not including novellas....what the hell did Gatina manage...another series in it's own right) were wonderful and the next ten will be too.
Just don't sell out the George, or die on us like Tolkien and Douglas Adams did...I want to see the series on Netflix AFTER the books are finished...and don't screw it up like they did to Eragon...
Legend!
Product Description
Company’s Coming!
Just when Baron Minalan the Spellmonger figured out there was a slim chance to restore his mind-shattered wife Alya (if he’s willing to journey to the undercaverns of Olum Seheri, the lair of Korbal the Necromancer), things start to go awry: not only does Prince Tavard, his unloved liege lord, decide to conduct an official state visit to Sevendor on pilgrimage to the Everfire on the Briga’s feast day, but a mysterious seamage appears at his door with an intriguing offer from the Sea Folk who rule Callidore: they want to buy snowstone. An entire mountain of it.
Between feuding factions of Alka Alon and the contentious nobility of his own kingdom, Minalan is already in arcane intrigue up to his pointy hat, but when the foremost wizard of the age has problems, he also has resources. Before the pilgrimage concludes it sets mighty actions in their courses, and even the gods elect to intervene publicly in Minalan’s life.
Minalan realizes that he has little choice but to consider an impossible quest into the heart of his enemy’s realm, to the caverns of the dead, themselves, if he is to resolve the many conflicts in play. He must recover an ancient artefact of the Sea Folk known as the Handmaiden, and in order to do so he will have to organize the most audacious raid on the most horrific foe in humanity’s history on Callidore! Who else but Minalan the Spellmonger has the magic stones to challenge the undead might of the Necromancer!
