Shattered Chains — Clayton Emery

"Spare us from plague, drought, and wizardly duels..."

To common folk like Gull and Greensleeves, wizards were a blight on the land. When Greensleeves discovered her own magical ability she decided to use it to break the power of the other wizards.

Gull's army helped, but not much--and Gull wasn't much of a general. Their mana vault might have helped, but she hadn't learned how to control it. Then a Hero of Benalia was sent to stop them and their "mana vault" came alive. Things couldn't get any worse.

Or so they thought until the other wizards caught on to what Greensleeves was doing.
