(The second book in the Ponder the Orb series)
A novel by

 
 
An elven city in the trees. A dwarven kingdom beneath the mountains. And necromancers ruining everyone’s vibes.

Mark and the Blue Wizards are back, continuing their leisurely journey across the Middle Realm toward a war they would really rather not participate in.

There’s no reason to rush — or so they keep telling themselves.

There are pipes to smoke, rivers to fish, strange new spells to ponder, and entire kingdoms worth exploring along the way. But Mark’s pondering isn’t just a hobby anymore. His inner world is growing stranger. His power is growing harder to hide. And the kind of wizards who notice things are starting to notice him.

If they want to keep Mark’s increasingly system-breaking abilities a secret, the Blue Wizards will have to keep their heads down, avoid drawing attention, and do their best to stay under the radar.

Too bad the undead keep interrupting breakfast.

Perfect for fans of cozy LitRPG adventures, hidden overpowered abilities, hilarious party dynamics, and whimsical slice of life moments.

What to expect: an increasingly overpowered mage MC, potion crafting with elven alchemists, crystal mining beneath a dwarven kingdom, dangerous new magic, pipeweed and fishing, a quest for a mythical burger, battles against undead monstrosities, and, of course, lots of pondering.
