Lich (The Wildmage Trilogy) (Volume 2)

Bartov Drydson has seen better days. Between the undead horde threatening to wipe out every living soul it can find, and the Chancellor of Kloon sending one assassin after another to ruin his day, he really can't seem to catch a break. Now, with his own magic raging out of control and the fate of the world at stake, Bartov must confront an evil more ancient and powerful than any he could have possibly imagined. Life really just is not fair. Oh, and then there is that other thing that really pissed him off.
