The Golden Wizard - Scrolls of Zndaria, #1

In the world of Zndaria, only nobility are selected to study magic. Nate-the fifteen-year-old son of the king's woodsman-dreams of becoming a wizard. If only someone believed he could. The town bullies, his brother, and even his parents tell him it's impossible. One day, while stuck in a precarious situation, he meets a mysterious elf. With this new friend's encouragement, Nate begins to believe in himself.
His determination grows when he learns of war coming to his land. Nate sets his magical journey into motion unaware of the despair and danger that awaits. Will he withstand the taunting voices that insist he's destined to fail? Can his courage hold against Dread Vikings, malicious bounty hunters, and a vicious beast? Nate must overcome his challenges to find a way to protect his family and home. If he doesn't, his kingdom will be one of many that falls to the evil spreading across the land. Join Nate as his adventure unfolds in the first book in the Scrolls of Zndaria series, The Golden Wizard. Please note: this book is the second edition of The Golden Wizard originally published in 2013.
