Next we have the lovely M.L. Spencer and no she doesn’t write romance she writes fantasy. Her first book is called Darkmage which came out in 2012 she’s currently working on the last book in the Rhenwars saga and also Art of War
Darien Lauchlin has already lost everything; now, the only thing he has left to lose is his soul. When his own brother sacrifices the woman he loves to unseal the Well of Tears, gateway to the Netherworld, Darien finds himself the last surviving Sentinel capable of defending his world against the ancient Enemy from the north and the demons his brother has unleashed upon the land. But Darien’s hands are tied; he has sworn the Oath of Harmony, vowing never to use his power in the taking of a life. As the Enemy masses in numbers never before seen, Darien finds himself faced with an impossible decision: remain steadfast to his Oath and watch helplessly as nations fall around him…or to become himself the most destructive force his world has ever known. Accompanied by his acolyte, Kyel Archer, and Naia Seleni, a priestess of Death, Darien begins a perilous journey that will lead him down a path of utter self-destruction. In the name of duty, Darien will see crowns toppled, friends sacrificed, and the land he loves desecrated. For there is a very slippery slope between duty…and brutal inhumanity. Darkmage is an allegorical study in the moral choices and ethics of war, explored through rich metaphor and symbolism. The story ponders the age-old question, “Does the end ever truly justify the means?”
