WIZARD. - By Larry M. Harris
Illustrated by Schoenherr
THE END
In a world where telepaths have learned to hide their gifts behind a centuries‑old Masquerade, a modest man named Jonas navigates the treacherous streets of early‑17th‑century Speyer. Far from the stereotypical knight, he is short, lumpy‑faced, and armed with nothing more than wits and a secret mind‑power that could betray him at any moment. As he surveys the town from a hilltop, the ordinary bustle of market stalls, stone churches, and mud‑brick houses masks a darker undercurrent of suspicion and inquisitorial danger.
Jonas is drawn into a risky assignment that forces him to balance his desire for a quiet life with the ever‑present threat of exposure. While the city’s sturdy buildings stand as symbols of stability, the hidden network of telepaths prepares for a daring act that could change their fate. Listeners will be swept into a tale of subtle heroism, where survival hinges on timing, secrecy, and the courage to “stick his neck out” in a world that punishes the uncanny.
