Malice
Some people are just too evil to stay dead.
An old enemy Conryu Koda believed he’d dealt with once and for all has returned.
And what’s worse, he doesn’t even know it.
Conryu’s focus is on his missing friend, Jonny, who disappeared while on an undercover mission for the Department of Infernal Investigations. No one knows what happened and the clock is ticking.
With hellpriests, demons, and plain old criminals popping up everywhere, will Conryu be able to find his friend in time?
And what is Malice up to? Nothing good for our hero you can be sure of that.
It’s a race against evil in Malice, the next exciting installment of The Aegis of Merlin.

James E. Wisher
James E. Wisher is a fantasy author whose stories favor patience, structure, and long-form worldbuilding over spectacle. His books unfold at a measured pace, inviting readers into carefully constructed worlds where magic follows rules, power is earned through effort, and choices carry lasting consequences. Rather than rushing toward constant twists, his writing settles into the slow accumulation of skill, knowledge, and responsibility.
A lifelong reader of fantasy and science fiction, Wisher began writing seriously early in life, shaped by classic epic fantasy and later influenced by progression-focused storytelling. That background is evident across his work. Training, preparation, and strategy matter in his novels, and characters rarely stumble into greatness by accident. Growth comes through discipline, setbacks, and an understanding that power, once gained, changes both the individual and the world around them.
