Battlemage (Age of Darkness)

"Balfruss is a battlemage, sworn to fight and die for a country that fears and despises his kind. Vargus is a common soldier -- while mages shoot lightning from the walls of the city, he's down in the front lines getting blood on his blade. Talandra is aprincess and spymaster, but the war may force her to risk everything and make the greatest sacrifice of all"--
