Book Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway: The Sceptre of Fire By Alex Stargazer The Magical Instruments , Book 1 The Sceptre of Fire is an old school fantasy romp: it’s got elves, dwarves, orcs, necromancers, and a campy mage. But there’s a twist—a pretty big one. The orcs? They’re not really the bad guys. The necromancer? Yeah, he’s got history. And the knights in shining armour aren’t always noble… The necromancer was once a pretty decent guy: he killed pirates on the high seas and did his duty as an Empire subject.

Opposing him are Radu, a mad mage with a penchant for boys and fashion, along with Haraldur—a talented dwarve
