Battle for Elt: The Taking of the Wizard Bearer

Battle for Elt: The Taking of the Wizard Bearer

By A.C. Hutchinson
Type: Novel
Published: 2018


A DARK FANTASY ADVENTURE BEGINS . . .

When Cassandra Delamare, a young woman capable of giving birth to a wizard, is taken during the night by those working for an evil tyrant, a rescue attempt begins. But as Cassandra, the so-called wizard bearer, is taken further from home, a deeper plot unfolds, connecting people from across the land of Elt. From magical wizards to a long-forgotten witch, warring kings to a common whore, a despairing queen to a lowly servant girl, the ripples of the wizard bearer's taking are felt far and wide.

Hutchinson has woven local interest into this tale by naming all of the places on the map of Elt after real villages and locations in the Yorkshire Wolds, England, close to his birthplace of Kingston upon Hull.

“A sprawling dark fantasy adventure set in a richly built land on the cusp of a brutal war.”

“Move over the Mother of Dragons and make way for the Mother of Wizards.”
