About this ebook
Execution by Promotion?
Take a small team of soldiers and escort an old man behind enemy lines? Yes, the team includes the legendary warrior Lunn, but Harkin's "promotion" still sounds like a suicide mission.
Only a wizard would merit the risk. But this "wizard" acts like a simpleton. Slow pace, small smiles, refusing every request for spells.
Only thing worse than this mission? Seeing the wizard in action.
Not That Kind of Wizard, a high fantasy adventure short story of magic and war, of great heroes, and men thrust into circumstances they cannot comprehend. From Stefon Mears, author of Half a Wizard, Twice Against the Dragon and With a Broken Sword.

for his even temperament.
Yet when I stood before the throne under the hot-poker gaze of His Majesty, awaiting His call for the executioner, He asked me questions. Why did you lead your hand off of the trail?
Sire, I heard enemy troops approaching. I was afraid.
Were they your hand to lead?
"No, Sire. But we
