About this ebook

"Hope is the deceiver of fools, and the architect of despair."

A declaration of truth, or mere words? How Adam Gray responds to the Dark Mage's claim may well determine the fate of an entire world.

Because hope provides his only chance at salvation. Chaos and destruction rule the present; death holds the future in its ruthless grip. Only somewhere in the past can Adam undo the enemy's victory and restore the lives of those most precious to him. But the past harbors great evil as well. Already the Dark Mage's plans are in motion; his teeming hordes eager to massacre the innocents of Tantris.

Bereavement, devastation, and anguished betrayal push the young mage to the brink of despair. Broken and alone, surrounded by enemies howling for his blood, Adam must face a terrible truth…

Sometimes, a little hope is worse than no hope at all.

Author

D. Bruce Cotton

D. Bruce Cotton grew up in a small rural town in central Kentucky. A certified bibliophile, when he wasn’t digging through the local store’s 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, 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, KY, with his wife, Cindy, and 6-year-old standard poodle, Gracie. He’s the author of seven books in the epic Dark Mage fantasy series: Magician's Dawn (a prequel), Magician’s Heir, Magician’s Return, Magician’s Quest, Magician's Loss, Magician's War, and Magician's Genesis.
