The Warded Box (Wizard’s Helper, #2)

Jack Winder is sent on another errand by the mercurial Fasher Tempest. This time he heads south into the country of Tesoria accompanied by two Tesorian wizards. The country is rent into factions with each one rebelling against the king in their own fashion. In this turbulent environment, Jack must deliver a warded box to the grand wizard of Tesoria far south of the border. Along the way he must battle with armies, wizards, wolves, and betrayals of all sort as he pursues completing his task.
