Setting out into exile is never much fun, but Minalan wants to publicly comply with Prince Tavard's order to leave Sevendor for three years to spare his home any retribution. Instead of using magic to transport himself to his new lands, Minalan decides to leave cross-country in a wagon with his father.
Down the Bontal River, Min and his dad make a stop at Robinwing, get snowed in at Barrowbell, and enjoy a few days as guests of Baron Astyral. Along the way, Minalan comes to terms with many things in his life. With his father's advice and some introspection, he prepares for the great challenge ahead in distant Vanador.
No one knows what the future holds, but as the stakes for Callidore grow higher and weigh more heavily on Minalan's shoulders, it might be possible for Min to find inspiration on the Road to Vanador!

The Spellmonger
The Spellmonger
21 books in catalog
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.
