BooksSeamage
The war was the easy part....Minalan the Spellmonger, in his guise as Mirkandar the Magnificent, Doge of Farise, is in a bind: the Duke of Merwyn has sent an armada of seventy ships to conquer his newly-independent realm...and Minalan has never fought a battle at sea. Thankfully, the legendary warmage Durgan Jole has a plan, and with the help of his fellow wizards from Sevendor, Minalan feels confident that Farise can survive the invasion. He doesn't want to kill that many people, but Merwyn has left him little choice.But then one of the Vundel's leviathans and its pod swim into the middle of the battle, complicating things dramatically. And that's just the start of the real problem. An ancient organization lurks in the background while Minalan struggles for control, and the Emissary of the three Alka Alon High Kings has arrived to hold an investigation on the erratic human wizards and their rise to power. King Rard is growing suspicious of Mirkandar's real identity, and Korbal the Necromancer rises from his crypt to demand that the Spellmonger fulfill an oath he'd made. And, unsurprisingly, his teenage daughter is starting to question everything he's doing.In the midst of the turmoil comes Moudrost, a Seamage and former member of the Brethren of the Sea, the magical order that alone communicates between the aquatic native inhabitants of Callidore and humanity. He bears a terrifying message: the appearance of the leviathan is no accident. It is coming to Farise, and it is coming for Minalan. It cannot be stopped by mortal men, not even wizards, and it is in no mood to negotiate. The only thing standing between the Vundel and the destruction of humanity now is Minalan the Spellmonger...and one very important Seamage!

The sprawling epic fantasy landscape of the Spellmonger series has gained a dedicated following through its detailed world-building, blending traditional feudal fantasy elements with practical magery and military strategy. American author Terry Mancour established this expansive universe in 2011 with the release of the inaugural novel Spellmonger, embarking on an ambitious multi-book narrative projected to span dozens of volumes.
Born in Flint, Michigan in 1968, Terry Mancour relocated to North Carolina in 1978. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored in Religious Studies. Mancour's early writing career included media tie-in work and sci-fi continuations published under his own name and pseudonyms such as T. L. Mancour. In 1992, he authored the tie-in novel Star Trek: The Next Generation #20: Spartacus, and later created sequels to H. Beam Piper's 1963 novel Space Viking, publishing Prince of Tanith and Princess Valerie's War in 2011.
Following his early publishing ventures, Mancour transitioned into self-publishing, which allowed him full creative control over high-volume series. His focus shifted primarily to the Spellmonger saga starting in 2011, while also branching out into time-travel fiction with his Casanova's Butterfly sequence beginning with Bad Penny in 2017. He resides in Durham, North Carolina, with his family, managing an extensive output across epic fantasy and science fiction.
Mancour's work is characterized by detailed feudal politics, economic systems, and tactical military engagements embedded within high fantasy settings. Drawing upon his background in Religious Studies, his narratives frequently explore the institutional impact of magic on ordinary agrarian societies. His prose balances realistic logistical challenges—such as domain management, troop movements, and resource allocation—with immersive, character-driven storytelling.
