Legendary Wizard... Knight of the Arcane... Champion of a Death God... And... Heretical Traitor?Balthane the Blue is the greatest wizard to walk the Kingdom of Angrieva in over a thousand years. A dashing swordsman, banisher of demons, and ardent defender of the poor, the legendary archmage is a hero of the highest order-but only to some.

To others, he is a fake, a phony, a rake, and a rebel-and most of all-a danger to the crown.

Embark on an adventure to find out the truth-from his humble beginnings as the son of a craftsman to his ill-fated affair with the daughter of a wealthy lord, his battle of wills against a seductive demoness to his expedition to expose the hidden lair of an evil necromancer.

Jack Bastion's debut novel of sword, sorcery, and spice, The Sapphire Spark strums the opening strains of The Ballad of Balthane the Blue.
