The Saga of Braccus Straun - Peter Welmerink - Bog

A warrior, husband, father and executioner in a kingdom that reviles sorcery and, by King Sturoq Adahy, decreed all practiced magicks punishable by immediate death, Braccus Straun simply tried to survive. When the Arch-mage Falkair Kem decides to end the discrimination and torture of his people, he chooses Straun as his unwilling assistant to gather totems and artifacts needed to destroy King Adahy. With his wife and young daughter held captive, and a deadly poison coursing through his veins, Braccus must be Kem's pawn and acquire all of Kem's needed items. If Straun succeeds, his wife and child will live though he will die. If he fails, he will die most assuredly but not before Kem kills his family in the same manner as Braccus delivered as executioner to Kem's folk. Within two full day-passings, 48 hours, Braccus must perform the services to Kem. And with the items scattered all over the world, and beyond, it seems Braccus Straun is destined to fail from the start. But Braccus Straun, the warrior, will stand tall and struggle forward for life and family, and perhaps have his revenge on the dire sorcerer before days end.
