Bronze Magic – The Sorcerer’s Oath, Book 1
By Jennifer Jane Ealey
The two sorcerers circled each other, each protected within his shield. Suddenly, Tarkyn’s shield winked out, and he stood exposed but safe as long as Andoran was putting his energy into maintaining his shield. Andoran was now a step behind in the attack. After feinting right, then left, the red-headed sorcerer threw himself to the left, winked out his shield, and thrust a shaft of power at the prince. But Tarkyn anticipated him, and as he sidestepped the red attack, he drove a rod of power at Andoran that caught him cleanly in the chest. Andoran yelped with pain.
The referee blew his whistle, and Tarkyn was declared the winner. As the prince reached out to haul his opponent up and shake his hand, tumultuous applause erupted from thousands of watching sorcerers. They rushed onto the arena, young and old, rich and poor, eagerly clustering around their victorious prince but were kept at bay by a ring of protective guards. Tarkyn grinned and waved in response, then placed his arm across his worthy opponent’s shoulder to draw him into the congratulations. Andoran mastered his disappointment enough to produce a rueful smile and wave his acknowledgement to the crowd.
