Death, destruction, and unrelenting warâĶ
âĶis all the people of Tantris have known for generations. But with the end of the Dark Mage war, a new era beginsâone of safety, healing and a peace long hoped for. After centuries of struggle, the Dark Mage is dead, killed by Adam Gray in an epic battle beneath the fiery catacombs of Mount Dismay.
Or at least the world thought so.
When an assassinâs arrow turns matchless joy to grieving despair, it marks but the first of many blows signaling the rebirth of an age-old nemesis. And this time, Adam will find himself overmatched and woefully unprepared.
Together with Craigen the giant, Adam embarks on a crucial quest. He must seek a means to answer the unanswerable: How to salvage a love already lost? How to redeem the lives of friends half a world away? And one transcendent question, one whose answer will determine whether thousands live or die:
How do you kill a monster who is already dead?

D. Bruce Cotton grew up in a small rural town in central Kentucky. A certified bibliophile, when he wasnât digging through the local storeâs latest delivery of comic books, you could usually find him camped out in a corner of the town library, avidly reading the literary masters: Isaac Asimov, Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien.
After graduating with a somewhat useless degree in English, he went to work for Uncle Sam, serving as a statistical clerk at a nerve gas laboratory, a public affairs specialist at a tank depot, and for 28 years as a writer and editor for PS Magazine, an Army comic book designed to teach Soldiers how to care for their equipment.
Now retired, Bruce lives in Cold Spring, Kentucky, with his wife, Cindy, and Gracie, their 6-year-old standard poodle. Heâs the author of seven books in the epic Dark Mage fantasy series: Magician's Dawn (a series prequel), Magician's Heir, Magician's Return, Magician's Quest, Magician's Loss, Magician's War, and Magician's Genesis. To find more about these books and future additions to the series, go to: https://dbrucecotton.com
