About this ebook
Downtrodden and powerless, Planeswalker Tezzeret must do everything he can to return to his former glory—even if it means relying on old enemies
From the ashes of defeat, Tezzeret rises again. Beaten to within an inch of his life and left for dead by the psychic sorcerer Jace Beleren, Tezzeret has lost control of the Infinite Consortium—an interplanar cabal he commanded with a power and influence few in the Multiverse have ever achieved.
Now he must turn to a former enemy for help: the dragon Nicol Bolas, perhaps the only Planeswalker in the Multiverse powerful enough to get him back on his feet. Bolas, however, has his reservations. What can Tezzeret give him that he doesn’t already have?
So begins Tezzeret’s search for the secret of etherium—a magical alloy infused with all the power of the Blind Eternities—thought to have been lost with the disappearance of the great sphinx, Crucius the Mad. Tezzeret’s quest is clear, but his thirst for revenge clouds his decisions. Will he achieve his goal, or will he be bested by his own ambition?

This book featured magic that was completely inconsistent with canon and basic logic. Time travel negates all other story elements. The tone was very "modern movie", very far from the tone set by fantasy in general and MTG specifically. It's like Stover had a Cliff notes version of the story so far and decided to write a story he had in his head and forced it into the MTG universe. A waste of a good writer and an almost strong story. We want to build a coherent universe and this novel was purely toxic.

This book was great. So many twists and turns, you never know who (really) has the upper hand. A fantastic read that had me laughing at times, worried at other times and ready to read the next chapter in line. Loved it!

Stover was fantastic. It helped to have some previous back history on MTG and the characters although it is written so well. Lots of fun, wish it was longer.
