The Golden Wand Trilogy

Author’s Note: This novel is “LitRPG Lite,” which means that it does not give explicit stats, levels, etc., but it is very much RPG-inspired fantasy literature, in which characters acquire items and weapons and spells, gain experience and increase in power by fighting and defeating enemies, and obtain quests that require them to venture into dungeons and fight monsters and defeat bosses, with the ultimate goal of defeating a final boss. The inspiration for this novel comes more from games than from novels: what directly inspired this book is Final Fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons, not any specific fantasy novel or book or series.

A chance encounter puts a young thief named Zandrew in possession of a mysterious magic wand. Zandrew’s life is torn apart when kings, demons, monsters, and armies come after the wand, which holds the secret to winning an ancient war between the Lord of Light and the Lord of Darkness. In the golden wand, Zandrew sees the opportunity to seek revenge for the murder of his parents, who were killed by followers of the Lord of Darkness, the Dark God Vladius. Zandrew embarks upon a brave quest to use the golden wand to defeat Vladius, joined by valiant companions such as Rellora the noblewoman, Gennis the knight, Sheila the ninja, and Tyrona the sorceress. Standing in his way lies the many servants of the Lord of Darkness, including the insane, evil Magician-King named Deathly, the devious, manipulative dark Queen called the Eliminator, and the powerful, arrogant Emperor Kindahl Laum. In the end, after countless battles against soldiers, wizards, and all sorts of monsters, Zandrew and his friends will face the Lord of Darkness Vladius himself, with the fate of the Living World hanging in the balance of their final duel. This swords and sorcery dark fantasy epic trilogy will delight fans of fantasy novels and please readers looking for a fun, action-packed experience. Included in this box set are all three novels in the trilogy: The Throne War, The Shadow of Heaven, and The Castle in the Sky. Get ready for an exciting adventure!
