A Quest to Defeat a Sorcerer

Sequel to A Quest to Find a SorcererAs soon as Niall is fully trained as a mercenary by his lover Renard, they, as well as the blacksmith's apprentice Merek and healer Aymer, journey through the mountains from Dorraine to the home of Tybout where the powerful sorcerer Symounde has been in exile. They join with Symounde, novice sorcerer Janot, Tybout, and his wolves to travel on to Wildemere. The plan, if they can come up with a viable one, it to destroy the evil sorcerer Huguenin.
When they arrive at Symounde's home, they learn Huguenin has used blood magic to bespell many of the inhabitants of Wildemere. They are his eyes and ears as he spies on the city's citizens, looking for those who oppose him. It will take all of the companions' ingenuity, plus Symounde's powerful spells and Janot's lesser magic, in the battle they know is coming. Can they defeat Huguenin, who will surely send his enthralled minions to fight them, as well as use his own powerful battle magic against them? If they do, how many will survive?
