The Hidden Blade : Marie Mullany On Whizbuzz Books

The bluron’s wings delivers a stark command of death as the Empire teeters on the edge of a most uncivil war. For the first time in Her long history, a ducal line has failed. The last duke of Etendulat is dead and none of his heirs have undertaken the Trials of Dusang. The wealth of farmlands that lies at the heart of the Blutben peninsula lack a ruler and greedy men circle the bountiful plains.

Into this high-stakes game, Louis is sent to end the ambitions of Tybalt du Mamel, Baron of Somfaux, who would reach for the Etendulat Sash. With every step, he uncovers more of a treacherous plot that is poised to strike at the heart of the Empire. Forbidden magic shadows him and ultimately he must make a dire decision: Can he take the life of an innocent for the greater good?

From the pen of Marie M. Mullany comes a new epic fantasy series!

I took a long look into animism in Fantasy and discovered that it's amazing. Where have you seen animism used well in Fantasy?

Writing Politics

Politics, in case you were wondering, is hard to write! Every line of dialogue has to be considered twice, even three times. Sometimes creat

Religion is a thing that humans definitely do plenty of, so it's not unusual to see a lot of religion themes in fantasy worlds. But let's say you've decided to create an pantheon, how do go about getting your god band together? Let's explore that in this video :)

The Hanseatic League in one minute #shorts

So you need a merchant guild for your fantasy world and you need a little inspiration? Allow me to introduce you to a historical guild that held power far gr...

Sometimes I wonder if people know exactly how much history repeats itself. Did you know the Hanseatic League paid zero tax in most of the cities they traded in? It was one of their requirements before they’d add your city to their trade route. 

That was back in the 14th century.

Do you build fantasy worlds? Do you read fantasy and wonder how people build their magic systems? Do you enjoy analyzing fantasy worlds? This video is for you. I discuss magic system types, how to use them and the 3 rules of magic systems by Brandon Sanderson. I’ll also tell you why I hated the introduction of Vision into the Marvel universe and how it relates to Sanderson’s rules :)

Driving down the Highway.

Cars going south flow down the black ribbon like a river of gold.

I am grateful that I am travelling north.

I crest a hill, there’s a row of brake lights, like a river of blood.

Typical.

 I break hard. The ABS kicks in judderingly beneath my foot.

For no visible reason, the three-lane highway is moving at a crawl.

The irritating Ford ad comes up on the radio and I change stations

Their playing rap.

Typical.

 Finally, we seep around a bend.

Ahead, blue lights flash.

The road is clear, the car ahead of me brakes hard.

The driver is rubbernecking the bodies on the side of the road.

Typical.

 Is life just an inconvenience for drivers?

A bit of a show to the morbidly curious?

The news comes up on the radio.  I heard the previous bulletin.

I switch to my iPod.  My favourite band is playing.

I forget about life and sing along.

Typical.

Magic and Politics is an explosive mix - Handling magic's effect on government in a fantasy world

In this video I explore the effect that magic has on a fantasy world's governing models. When a single mage can overthrow the government, what changes does t...

If you give an individual the ability to call down thunder and lightning. To summon the very elements and to command the laws of the nature to sit down and shut up. How do you prevent them from becoming king?

Maybe you don't. Maybe instead you just let them be king and be done with it? Or maybe you counter their power by magic forbidden? But then, what's the point of having magic?

In my video on Magic, Politics and the impact magic has government models, I try to address those very questions.
