A tournament to name the best mage in the empire. What could go wrong when everything is carefully planned down to the last detail, and only the best of the best are invited to participate? The answer is obvious: everything!

Once again, Maximilian Valevsky will have to save everyone to preserve the integrity of the empire. This time, however, forces far more powerful than anything he has encountered before have taken an interest in his affairs.

What will Maximilian do? Will he back down, or will he remember the main maxim of the doomed soldiers? Do or die! Die, but save!

Maximilian Valevsky quite unexpectedly finds himself with spare time on his hands — time he can even devote to studying. Learning all the intricacies of runecraft, becoming Magister Meram’s best pupil and making his statement to the world!

It all sounds like a dream, but reality is quick to put him in his place. Padishah Bayazid the Third wants to personally meet with Maximilian and our hero will have to do unprecedented things just to survive. But could a former doomed soldier do it any other way?

Condemned Book 7
Death is not the end. Maximilian Valevsky was slain, but rune magic has returned him to this reality. There are still enemies to destroy and evil forces to expel from this world.

The only question is: what will he do with the person who finally did him in? Will he forgive and forget, or take action to ensure his killer can never pull of such a trick again?

But before resolving this issue, he must find a way to remove the rune magic. What’s the point of killing someone if they just keep coming back?
