About The Adventures of Iric: A Valley of Magic Collection (In the Valley of Magic) (Unabridged)

Life in the City of Magic is never boring. It's not easy being a watchman in Marudal, famed City of Magic. Even if a new recruit doesn’t find himself at the wrong end of a sword or too close to a bit of magical fire, he can still expect long days of running and yelling or being generally harassed by the Baron's street thugs. It's certainly not a job for the faint of heart. Iric is the newest member of the Western Watchhouse and things are not going as expected. Whether gentle giants, fierce fighters, or wily old codgers, every encounter proves to be an unsuspected adventure filled with explosive magic, perilous struggles, and humorous twists of fate. Arranged in an episodic format, The Adventures of Iric takes you on a classic fantasy adventure, in small, easy to digest pieces. Following the new tradition of flash fiction, these short stories start quick and never let up. Fans of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld will find themselves rooting for the young watchman as he takes on crime and magic alike. Follow along as Iric learns what it takes to patrol the streets in the City of Magic. This volume also contains collected material set in the traditional fantasy world of Marudal. These stories have been published in a variety of magazines and ezines including Empyreome Magazine, the Bards and Sages Quarterly, Corner Bar Magazine, Fantasia Divinity Magazine, Tall Tale TV, Antipodean SF, and more.
