The Watchers of Astaria

Astaria is ruled by wizards, everyone knows that. Quinn is a journeyman blacksmith for the Wizard Usorin until Quinn loses his arm and his livelihood after a tragic accident. When he is befriended by Roland, he learns the secret behind the wizard’s power and is set on a path against a foe who seeks to destroy not only Astaria, but magic itself.

Astaria: Magi ruled; Watcher protected. Quinn, Watcher of Astaria, has in his possession the most powerful magic in the land — the only problem is, he doesn’t know how to wield its power. Now that the Magi are being hunted by an unseen foe, who use ruthless predators that kill on command. Can Quinn figure out his magic and defeat this elusive enemy before it is too late? What he finds may well shift the course of Astaria and possibly the whole world. Do Quinn and his fellow Watchers have enough to stop a plot that will take them across Astaria and to faraway lands?

What do you call a cat in a gun belt? Kitty kitty bang bang Victoria Wyndham is a watcher, alchemist, and a horrible joke teller. She has been tasked by the Arch Magus to protect Astaria from all threats to their nation. When her fellow watcher, Quinn, discovers that a mind-control drug used to turn animals into killing machines is to blame for a series of brutal murders, Victoria sets out to stop the people behind the drug.

Maybe coming back to life wasn’t the best idea. Brulle Cobb was a watcher until he was pushed too far and faked his death to escape. After Victoria Wyndham showed up on his doorstep, he’s drawn back into Astarian politics. The Watchers are in a race against the clock to stop a group of cultists from bringing their goddess back to the world and enslaving the free people of Astaria, and they need all hands on deck.
