Leafe's orchard of orange trees is dying after generations of bountiful harvests. Haunted by a dream wraith, he travels into the desert to find power that can once again bring the rain... and accidentally starts a cult in the process.

Fleeing a lifetime of abuse, Aisling follows a magical magpie from a bad situation to a horrific fate. Through ceaseless torment, she hardens into the fiercest warrior to walk on Garden and discovers ancient power to punish those who would do harm.

Lady Wisteria has lived alone in her castle for decades, accompanied only by the rotting bones of her late lord husband. Driven mad by grief, she searches for the power to resurrect her love and will stop at nothing in order to find it.

Fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld and Chritopher Buehlman's Blacktongue will find Callan's wit enchanting. OLD SORCERY is an absurdist Fantasy Epic with a serious story to tell.
