Return to the epic fantasy world of gunpowder and magic that started it all… and one old campaigner whose knife is still sharp.
From award-winning author Brian McClellan comes Mr. Styke, a brand-new novella set in the Powder Mage Universe.
Longtime fans can revisit the Fatrastan frontier and their favorite characters from the Gods of Blood and Powder trilogy with an action-packed novella full of political intrigue starring the one and only Mad Ben Styke.
But who is the former commander of the Mad Lancers now?
In the epic world of the Powder Mage series, Colonel Benjamin Styke was the commanding officer of the Mad Lancers, a legendary company of horse-riding lancers that were instrumental in the events of the Fatrastan Revolution.
Famed for their bravery—and recklessness—as well as wearing medieval armor laced with powerful sorcery in a world of gunpowder, their banner was a skull pierced by a lance on a black field.
Mad Ben Styke himself has a Knack for “smelling” magic… but more than that, he’s very hard to kill, and his killing instinct is second-to-none.
The world is supposed to be civilized now, but that may yet still matter…
