The eldest son of a Lord is evil, deeply evil. A black sorcerer, he had no regard for anyone save himself - and that includes his younger siblings whom he would drain of their power and happily watch them die, a fact that has caused him to be disinherited. He has raised to being a Duke and seen to his corruption by satisfying every craving, vile or otherwise, and murdering any who would modify his behavior a man who is his puppet. The two of them have placed into jeopardy Kars, their actions having caused dissatisfaction and rage at the uncalled for killings they are so fond of. Opposing them are the sorcerers sister, brother and another Lord heir. They have magic of their own - but with moral's and care for the people. A true Witch World tale well worthy of being read.
