“Michael Ploof is one of the indie good guys. Don’t be surprised if he is soon swooped up by one publisher or another. Whill of Agora is a fine example of why I think so.” – Award Winning Fantasy Author, M. R. Mathias

Influenced by the works of Robert Jordan, George R.R. Martin, R. A.Salvator and Tolkien, Whill of Agora is a classic coming of age fantasy tale of magic, mayhem, friendship and war.

Bound by his vow of fealty, Dirk Blackthorn finds himself at Eadon’s side. His first mission; kill the entire royal family of Eldalon, leave none of Whill’s kin alive.
Deep within the heart of the Mountains Ro’Sar, King Roakore prepares to travel to Elladrindellia and reunite the boy Tarren with Whill. He hopes also to have the ancient dwarven tome, The Book of Ky’Dren, translated. And he trusts none but Whill to do it.
Aurora prepares to face the self-proclaimed Chief of the Seven, Icethorn of Dragon Tribe. She no longer feels Eadon’s power coursing through her; she begins to dare hope that she is free of the dark elf. But a pledge of fealty to Eadon is not made lightly.
Avriel remains trapped within the body of the white dragon. Neither the elder elves nor Whill with his great power can find a way to return her to her body. With the racial memories of her dragon line clear in her mind, she begins to lose hold of her elven self.
Whill has found the ancient elven blade of legend, Adromida. Finally he has made it to Elladrindellia, and his training with the elves has begun. Although he is safe for the time being from the reach of Eadon, a new threat arises that may prove his greatest challenge yet. He soon realizes that his greatest enemy may not be the dark elf lord, but he himself.

Once one of the jewels of the Crescent, now the dark powers have turned their gaze upon it, and Giorn Wesrain, son of the baron of Fiarth, has become inextricably drawn into the machinations of the Dark One, along with his beloved Niara, High Priestess of Illiana.

They have loved each other in secret for years, but that love will be tested as the armies of the Dark One strive against Felgrad. Worse, one of their own, Raugst, is in truth an agent of the enemy, and Raugst will soon bend the barony to his will. If Felgrad falls, so too will the rest of the Crescent, and then the Dark One will be unleashed upon the world.

Only Giorn and Niara can stop him, but how can they when the legendary Moonstone, the great artifact of the Light that has kept the fell powers at bay for thousands of years, has been taken?
