Furious at Will’s escape from the void, the Watcher’s failure only fuels her madness. She turns to dark magic to rebuild her forces and seeds the populace with her twisted spies, intent on claiming Will’s power for her own. In the shadows her plot grows sinister, for if she cannot get to Will, she will reach for those he loves. The world may tremble before the magic of the Stormking…but the terrors of the void serve the hunger of the mad queen.
Michael Manning spent his formative years in Texas, reading fantasy and science fiction, concocting home-grown experiments in his backyard, and generally avoiding schoolwork. Later at college his love of beer and role-playing games led to what he calls his ‘best year ever’ and what most of his family calls ‘the lost year’. Eventually he graduated and somewhat ironically, became a pharmacist.
