There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. No doubt he’s wearing iridescent silk robes that couldn’t protect his frail body from a light breeze. The hat’s a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing, covered in esoteric symbols that would instantly show every other mage where this gets his magic? Wouldn’t want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYep.

Now I’m on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTime to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49464549278043,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/files\/19_2bf8b281-644f-4cbd-9750-99c88d5ced31.jpg?v=1731500946","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/the-malevolent-seven","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
