The Summer Palace

In a world maintained by the careful oversight of the Wizard Lord, a fragile balance exists that can be disrupted if he deviates from justice. The Chosen—eight magically enhanced mortals—are tasked with removing any errant Wizard Lord, but the latest ruler has thrown the system into chaos by neutralizing all magic and eliminating challenges to his power. Now, a character named Sword must navigate the dangers alone to restore order and uncover the secrets of the Ninth Talisman, which holds the potential to impact the fate of their realm. This gripping journey is set in a richly woven fantasy landscape filled with intrigue and conflict.
