b'This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Daniel M. Ford, author of THE WARDEN.
\\nAbout THE WARDEN: There was a plan.
\\nShe had the money, the connections, even the brains. It was simple: become one of the only female necromancers, earn as many degrees as possible, get a post in one of the grand cities, then prove she\\u2019s capable of greatness. The funny thing about plans is that they are seldom under your control.
\\nNow Aelis de Lenti, a daughter of a noble house and recent graduate of the esteemed Magisters\\u2019 Lyceum, finds herself in the far-removed village of Lone Pine. Mending fences, matching wits with goats, and serving people who want nothing to do with her. But, not all is well in Lone Pine, and as the villagers Aelis is reluctantly getting to know start to behave strangely, Aelis begins to suspect that there is far greater need for a Warden of her talents than she previously thought.
\\nOld magics are restless, and an insignificant village on the farthest border of the kingdom might hold secrets far beyond what anyone expected. Aelis might be the only person standing between one of the greatest evils ever known and the rest of the world.
