About
The Stories
Louis Sauvain’s Collegium Sorcerorum series mingles sword and sorcery with the high adventure of epic fantasy to intrigue and delight the young adult and beyond in an ancient world of mythic calling.
When completed, Sauvain’s series will contain nine books spanning the lives of Thaddeus and his seven friends from the School of Sorcery to the challenge of facing and confronting the End of all Days as they know it.
It begins when Silvestrus, a Master of Sorcery, seeks to recruit the young apprentice, Thaddeus. The boy’s quest of self-discovery leads to the realization that he is destined to become a Master himself, learning quickly that the secret to his success is his control over the power of Belief.
Yet that Belief is a two-sided sword that can spawn his downfall, annul all his domination, and leave him helpless when forced to face a fallen Master of unspeakable evil. An evil that strives for the destruction of the Gods, seeks to overcome and consume all of mankind, and
Serves only the purposes of the Daemons of Hell, itself.
Can Thaddeus survive and prevail? Can the Prophecy bend enough to allow him?
The
Colleguium Sorcerorum series
awaits your judgement.
