REVIEW
A Witty, Wizardly Romp!
Sterling Shade is a down-on-his-luck wizard haunting the seedy back alleys of New Port Praxle. At home among the castaways and criminals, Sterling feels he’s right where he belongs, just another lost soul looking to get by. And then redemption rears its head.
The past resurfaces, and Sterling finds himself wholly unprepared to confront the world he’d left for dead so long ago. He struggles to crawl out of the bottle and reconnect as he looks to resurrect his previous life, but fate has other plans.
In a witty, well-told tale, Scott Estrella plunges us deep into the broken mind of Sterling Shade, a wizard brought to his knees but desperate to escape the mire his life has become. Filled with action and adventure, TARNISHED is dark fantasy done right.
