What do you do, when magic's has lashed out, marking you with its power? What do you do when this is a death sentence from The Paladin, who has outlawed magic, its use, and even bearing its mark?

You find yourself on the run, toward what, you do not know. But you do know you run from whoever, or whatever, is chasing you, hot on your heels, breathing down your neck.

Friend or foe, it's hard to tell when magic is fuddling your sense of reality and is warping you.

In the world of The Backwards Knight, magic has been outlawed, and even banished, from the world at large, by The Paladin.

What do you do, when magic's has lashed out, marking you with its power? What do you do when this is a death sentence from The Paladin, who has outlawed magic, its use, and even bearing its mark?

Why, you run, of course. Like a rabbit.

In the world of The Backwards Knight, magic has been outlawed, and even banished, from the world at large. The Paladin has decreed it anathema, and as such those who use it, or bear its mark, are hunted down and dealt with.

The Paladin's knights, and his elf, are trained to hunt down and deal with mages. Which is usually by bringing them back for justice at The Paladin's hands.

Continuing with another round of "Meet the Characters"! Even if this one isn't really a character within The Backwards Knight, it is still somewhat a driving force to the plot.

Magic. Long since banished by The Paladin, it returns to the world in fits and gasps, seeking connection with mortals, the only thing it remembers. Humans and elves alike, who gave it purpose, who freed it from the clutches of the old gods.

Magic yearns for that connection, because magic remembers.

But it also comes with a warning: Beware the Ibe Nire.

Come find out more in The Backwards Knight! Link in bio, signed copies through me, available darn near everywhere books are sold.

Continuing with another round of "Meet the Characters"!

Today brings us The Paladin, he who rules over what was once Embrosi, the land of the elves. Having usurped both their lands and their kingdom, he rules with an iron fist lest any of those tainted by magic seek to rise up against him. He obliterated the elves, and holds no love for anything related to magic.

Come read about The Paladin, and figure out how much of a bad guy he really is in The Backwards Knight!

I've got THREE Raven's left, so if you'd like a buddy in the mail, come hang out in Feb or March :) The Earth tier is a print every other month, sometimes stickers, all the posts, etc! Stick around longer and you get the owl lady AND cheeseburger the possum sticker. He's based off of a *real* possum that showed up in our yard a few years ago.

He got big and would just chill even when raccoons showed up. (that raccoon is Potato, who is ALSO a sticker that goes out on month 5.)
