I really liked the Black Magician trilogy. I’d love to read more books that have ‘evil’ magic as a major component of the plot, preferably with some kind of trope subversion.

  • DragonLance chronicles trilogy, followed by Dragonlance Legends trilogy. It features a superb character arc with a dark magic user that arises out of an amalgamation of other wondrous character arcs, much like the DnD campaign of the same name.
