Mierta’s a brilliant but volatile warlock whose power is tied to emotional instability and buried trauma.
Mierta has been “chosen” through the Rite of Wands, a magical ritual which awakened his powers as a warlock, to be the apothecary that will find the cure for a bubonic plague known as the Shreya. If he fails, the cost is everything.

"Mackenzie Flohr has created a magical world that fascinates and excites the reader with brilliant descriptions of spells, action and suspense...a great beginning to what promises to be an interesting and thrilling series where the magical and ordinary combine in a medieval setting complete with kings, queens and knights, along with the struggling peasants who are at the mercy of those around them."
"The Rite Of Wands is a perfect mesh of Doctor Who and Harry Potter, with the added adventure and fantasy of The Lord Of The Rings thrown in for good measure..."
