Seven Towers

First in the epic fantasy series of one sorcerer's battle with darkness in a medieval England rife with gods and demons. Mecq thirsts in the English countryside. An unnatural drought besets the town, driving its residents to desperation. The wizard Silvas has vowed to use his magic to help all in need. But, once he arrives in Mecq, he quickly discovers that the town's problems run deeper than a mere lack of water.

Silvas finds that once he stands among gods, he must contend with an ancient evil more powerful than any he has ever known. The forces arrayed against him harbor old grudges that he cannot assuage. Faced with the fight of his life, Silvas is about to learn that deities have long memories. And, as he well knows, even gods can die...
