Torrent of Evil

Death. That was the omen that the crows and ravens brought to Inkeri. Deep in the desert Idros Ahdreide, men had lost their lives in battle against a strange evil. A half-Fae wielder, Inkeri ventures to investigate. Rhodren, baron of the Bois Argent, is commanded by his king to investigate the disappearance of two troops and a caravan, lost at the abandoned citadel of the Archais, deep in the desert. Yet when he and his men reach the border, a flock of crows and ravens attack. Surviving that attack, Rhodren and his men are then confronted by slavering panthers. Inkeri comes to their aid. Idros Ahdreide has predators aplenty, all willing to feast on the wariest of travelers. What enemy marshals these dangers? What evil lurks at the Archais? Will a wielder of elemental Water and a leader of mortal men discover the truth without becoming prey for the desert predators? . . . . The fantasy Torrent of Evil is the opening novella in the three-part series Spells of Water, part of the greater Fae Mark'd World. The series continues with Storm of Spells. If you like elemental power battling twisted sorcery and cold steel clearing paths through magical monsters, then you will love the adventures in the Fae Mark'd World. Writer Remi Black has created magical worlds from the time she read a much-battered paperback in the Witch World saga by Andre Norton, the Grand Mistress of Fantasy. She writes determined heroines and strong heroes, both with internal conflicts as dire as the sorcerers and monsters that confront them. Remi's first series set in the Wilding is Spells of Air. The young wizard Orielle encounters the proud Dark Fae Lord Skull and Lady Bone as well as a pack of shifted wyre enslaved by a sorceress. Recently finished is Spells of Earth. Wizardry burnt out and memory gone, Desora re-built her life in an isolated corner of the Northern Reaches. She only elemental Earth. Can she discover new ways to wield Earth before she and Brax become prey for twisted sorcery and magical monsters? Enjoy more of Remi Black's fantasy with magical protagonists confronting foul sorcery and monsters magical and mundane.
