Spellmonger is the first book in the aptly named Spellmonger series, written by Terry Mancour. However, it was only published digitally in the catalogue of the Amazon Kindle store.After Minalan finished serving his drafted time as a Warmage in the army of the duchies, He just wants to quietly settle into the life of a village spellmonger (one who sells his magic to help with ordinary tasks) in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. Things were going very well: business was booming, he is on good terms with the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice, and best yet, he met a beautiful young widow with the prettiest eyes . . .Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins – gurvani, they call themselves – bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. On top of that, the goblin shamans were armed with immense magical power; more than has been seen since the days of the ancient Imperial Magocracy – and their leader, a mysterious, vengeful force of hate and dark magic, is headed directly to Boval valley. The good people of Boval and their spellmonger have only one choice, to hole up in the over-sized Boval Castle and hope they can endure a siege against hundreds of thousands.The rest of the series follows this smart-alecky narrator on his quest to save the world of men from the new goblin scourge, all the while dealing with the ridiculously inefficient and corrupt feudal government, the inherent distrust/ignorance of magic in his culture, his own struggle with his ambitions and social class as he grows in both magical and political power.... and his transition from horndog bachelor to faithful husband and fatherCurrently there are 15 full books with two supplemental books, with the 16th on its way: Spellmonger Warmage Magelord Knights Magi High Mage Journeymage Enchanter Court Wizard Shadowmage Necromancer Thaumaturge Arcanist The Wizards of Sevendor Footwizard Hedgewitch The Mad Mage of Sevendor Marshall ArcaneThere is also a young adult companion line call the Spellmonger Cadet Series: Hawkmaiden Hawklady Sky RiderIn addition, he has also published a number of short stories which can be found in the anthology The Road to Sevendor | |

Miraculous Malfunction: During the birth of his fist child, something goes wrong with his son's pregnancy, Minalan tries to solve the problem by hurling magic at it. This resulted a healthy child, and freak magical accident that transformed all stone inside of a 3 mile radius into a unique magical substance. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something: King Rard and Queen Grendine of Castalshar. Rard was the only duke to take the threat of the Gurvani seriously very quickly, and actually led an army to Alshar in order to fight. Grendine is known as "Mother," and heads up the ducal (and later royal) intelligence agency. | |

Living Lie Detector: Lesana from "the Road to Sevendor" is a magical sport whose powers compel those around her to tell the entire truth, against their will. To say she is Blessed with Suck is an understatement, in fact her desire to have her "curse" removed is the motivator for her short story. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: The Aronin of Amadia and Co. They actually manage to hold off the big bad of the series, who is a Reality Warper, while simultaneously teleporting the main characters miles away from the fight. Minalan even stays behind for a second because "It didn't seem right to let the Aronin's heroic last stand go unwitnessed". Horka gets a special mention for being the first high mage to wound a dragon, even though it cost him his life. | |

Our Fairies Are Different | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_90d5b651 | comment |
Our Fairies Are Different: The Alka Alon (or "the tree folk" to the humans) are incredibly long lived, and as a race, and they are thousands of times better at magic then any other race in the world. They're pretty much Elves, except that they're nice, short, and don't have pointy ears Until book three that is, then several do a spell that transforms their bodies too the form they'd have if their souls had human bodies. Then they look exactly like classic Elves. It's implied to be an old spell. | |

Our Goblins Are Different | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_9136471a | comment |
Our Goblins Are Different: The Gurvani. Humans call them either the "the mountain folk" or "scrugs". They are either the genetically engineered work force of the ancient Alka-Alon empire, or they are the descendants of a faction of Alka-Alon that lost a battle and were forced to live in the mountains. it was left very unclear between books 1 and 2. They're actually called goblins by most humans, but it's pejorative and the narrator finds it sounds rude and uneducated, so he actively cajoles other characters to use the "proper" name even though they're pretty much standard D&D goblins down to their vital statistics block. Actually something of an in-joke for D&D players: every time Minalan discusses the taller, more muscular, disciplined warrior variant of the gurvani race with no spell-casters, he struggles to find an academic, refined-sounding phrase for them. Everyone else refers to them as Hobgoblins, another D&D staple. | |

Loved I Not Honor More | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_973d4e8 | comment |
Loved I Not Honor More: Minalin's relationship with his wife falls in to this frequently. It is clear that he does not want to leave his wife, but he frequently finds himself separated from her as he deals with the various issues he attends to. This is, in fact, made most notable by the one time she DID accompany him for an entire book to a dangerous land, and he STILL found himself going off by himself without his wife to attend to various things. This is only slightly averted by him putting the duchies at risk to repair her enneagram when it was fractured. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Minalan in all the books. In the first book, the level comes just from acquiring a shard of irionite In the 2nd, he hones his political instincts and learns how to lead men in battle In the 3rd, he uses all of his previous skills to prove himself a true leader of men, as he consolidates and grows both his magical and political power immensely this is the whole point of Knights Magi for Tyndal and Rondal | |

Awesome Moment of Crowning: In Magelord, Duke Rard IV has one when he becomes King Rard I.

Character Filibuster and Author Filibuster: Pentandra is the biggest culprit, but other characters involved in government like Isily get in on this on occasion. Pentandra constantly lectures Minalin about economics, politics, feudal hierarchy... The list goes on and on. Sometimes these lectures go on for pages. | |

No Social Skills: Carmela has this to varying degrees. She is not adept at social encounters, and she herself has noted that if it weren't for her friendship with Pentandra, she likely would have no friends at one point. It is also implied that Hesia was the same way. | |

Colonel Badass | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_cd23ee7d | comment |
Colonel Badass: Bold Asgus, Commander of the Orohan's band. He oozes command and confidence. Proficient with almost all weapons, he is a one man wave of death on the field of battle. The man launched himself onto a troll, and killed it with one hit. Then he dismounted into a double decapitation of nearby Mooks. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: The unbinding spell from the first book: he basically just put a God-like amount of power into the cantrip he uses to untie his shoes. As a result, the horde of hundreds of thousands takes heavy casualties as weapons fall apart, catapults and siege engines backfire, and siege towers and ladders fall apart, crushing the soldiers in and under them. | |

Our Dragons Are Different: Pretty much standard dragons, other then the fact that they are incredibly resistant to magic. | |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_dee04580 | comment |
Our Gnomes Are Weirder: "the River folk" sometimes called "puds". They are short, fat humanoids. They are almost entirely. pacifists, and they have supernatural gardening skills (they can grow more, higher quality vegetables, fruits, or any non-grain crop than any human farmer). They are also AMAZINGLY good chefs, and brewers. | |

Lost Colony | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_e04ffce3 | comment |
Lost Colony: Originally, the planet was solely populated by the various Alka species (Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, etc). At some point between 500 and 1000 years, humanity was "spawned from the void", and split into two groups— the Magocracy, which formed an alliance with the Elves and eventually gained magic from exposure to a certain native tree and crystallized forms of its sap, and the barbarians, which moved into deforested and barren steppes without the native trees and thus never gained magic until they conquered and moved into the duchies. This is maintained fairly meticulously: almost everything edible in the setting is an "imported" plant or animal such as cows and barley, while "nativia" plants and animals are more useful in magic/alchemy. Native species are of little nutritional value to the imported ones, though sometimes edible, but the natives can chow down on the invaders pretty easily. For bonus points, the magocracy was initially given an island to colonize by the elves, as one would experimentally introduce an invasive species in a controlled environment before allowing it onto the main-land, and they sink it by over-engineering it using foreign and arcane engineering principles that don't match the local geology. | |

Our Souls Are Different | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_e294a0be | comment |
Until book three that is, then several do a spell that transforms their bodies too the form they'd have if their souls had human bodies. Then they look exactly like classic Elves. It's implied to be an old spell. | |

| The Spellmonger Series / int_e4dfd6be | comment |
Our Dwarves Are Different: They are referred to as "the iron folk". they are short, stout, and magnificent smiths. However, they have not been seen in Callidore for centuries, since they taught the original goblins metalworking, which they promptly used to start a war which drove the dwarves deep into their mountain fortresses. | |

Anti-Magical Faction | |
| The Spellmonger Series / int_ecb3970b | comment |
Anti-Magical Faction: The Royal Censorate of Magic has shades of this, except instead of banning all magic, they only ban all magic except for a few specific fields of study. Then they hunt down and execute anyone studying illegal magic, or any magic user not registered in their extremely expensive accreditation system. | |
