The Daemon Prism

A blind mage teams up with an unlikely ally to save a friend and the world in this quasi-Renaissance epic fantasy adventure by the author of The Soul Mirror.

Indicted for crimes against the living and the dead, Dante the necromancer has become the most hated man in Sabria. Becoming blind by his enemy's cruel vengeance only exacerbates his situation. These days, his only comfort is time spent with his student, Anne de Vernase, passing his knowledge on to her. But when her family greatly needs her, she must leave Dante.

Then a retired soldier, haunted by powerful dreams, seeks out Dante's help. Seeing a magical puzzle to solve and a chance to redeem himself, Dante offers his services—even though he senses the man's plea hides something far more sinister. Soon the blind mage embarks on a mad journey with an unlikely ally beside him. Together they must rescue a former companion from a hellish demise that could raise a destructive cataclysm greater than any war their world has ever seen . . .
