My King! There are others... they are near you... don't trust... Keith's warning echos in Diarmad's mind all the time but the Seraei are patient predators. He can wait.

"Tragic Genius" is the fourth and penultimate book in "The Trial", a series beginning with "Shadow Honor". In this book, we follow the early days of the Demon War, and focus on the stories of Neredos and Veil predominantly, but with many other familiar faces as well. What does it take to make a leader, and how do the horrors of war twist a person's mind? How do we fight for good, life, and peace in a world full of evil, death, and pain? This is the heart of what The Trial means.

Unlikely to be updated in the foreseeable future.
