The sequel to Hemlock and the Wizard Tower has been released. Where Hemlock and the Wizard Tower was a metaphorical study in the deconstruction of hierarchical power, the sequel, Hemlock and the Dead God's Legacy, is a book about the aftermath of revolution.
At its core, the new novel is crafted as an entertaining sword and sorcery adventure. This book follows Hemlock as she learns about the true nature of her City, and the parameters of a larger conflict become clear. The burden of leadership is a consistent theme as spells are cast, swords are wielded, and blood is spilled.
Hemlock and the Dead God's Legacy
Hemlock realizes that the life of a leader is more complex and tiresome than she anticipated. Feeling burdened by her many responsibilities, she yearns for the freedom of adventure. When Tored arrives from the Witch Crags with information about the likely location of another powerful Wand, she seizes the opportunity to embark on a new quest.
Before she leaves, she entrusts a secret book into the possession of Merit, a mechanical gnome who is developing an affinity for history and lore. Merit begins to uncover an ancient narrative in those dusty pages--and he soon realizes it's the tale of the creation of the Wizard Tower itself!
Meanwhile Hemlock and Tored begin what they expect will be a simple quest to a mysterious vale nestled deep in the Witch Crags. But the adventure has several surprises in store for them...
Will Hemlock understand her ever evolving role amidst rapidly changing circumstances? And can she unite the City in time to resist the menace of the legacy of a dead God?
