Barbaric Ledgers

Kill All Wizards Publisher's Summary

"Narrator Raphael Corkhill puts a magnificent spin on things by reading the actions of a barbarian in a high-society English accent, at times cautioning the listener as to the approach of gory details that may affront their noble sensibilities." — Booklist

SWORDS, SORCERY, AND A SPOT OF TEA

We could think of nothing but the barbarian. He had come here, surely, to murder or marry someone, to exact revenge, or to say or do something very scandalous. We could hardly wait to see which it was. We hoped it would be all of them.

The barbarian traveled far to consult the wizards of the empire. Instead of lending their aid, they ensorcelled him, exploited his strength, and stole his sword. They should not have done that.

Now the barbarian plans to kill every wizard who wronged him, even if that means blending in with their vile society: dressing in finery, taking tea in exclusive clubs, and reserving the best box at the theater.

Oh, he hates it all with the fiery passion of his savage heart—but not as much as he hates these wizards.
