Bitter war arises when the end of one age intrudes on the dawn of another…
Makzendrix, champion of a world lost in the distant past, broods over the hypocrisy of those placed above him. Forced to abandon a bloody war at the very brink of victory, he must now choose between two equally hateful courses of action. Will he foreswear a solemn vow or betray the allies he fought beside for the last decade?
This choice will exile Makzendrix to another world entirely, an outlandish place beyond comprehension. Because Earth is a world devoid of magic. And only magic will allow him to survive the cold-blooded enemy who pursues him—Sarkesian, the voracious Dark Mage.
Powerless and alone, Makzendrix must make one final choice, a decision which will determine the fate of two vastly different worlds. Somehow, he must find a new champion, one with the aspiration and courage to oppose the devourer of souls.
Who will be the Magician’s Heir?
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 from college 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, KY, with his wife, Cindy, and Gracie, their 7-year-old standard poodle. He’s the author of eight books in the epic Dark Mage fantasy series: Magician’s Dawn (Series Prequel) Magician’s Heir, Magician’s Return, Magician’s Quest, Magician’s Loss, Magician’s War, Magician’s Genesis, and Magician’s Redemption.
