Madwand

POL DETSON HAS LEARNED THAT HIS NATIVE WORLD IS ONE WHERE MAGIC IS THE KEY TO SURVIVAL, AND THAT HIS NATURAL FATHER WAS A WIZARD OF UNSURPASSED MIGHT.  NOW HE MUST LAY CLAIM TO THE POWER THAT IS RIGHTFULLY HIS - THOUGH THE MAGIC OF EVERY RIVAL SORCERER IN THE KINGDOM WILL BE BROUGHT TO BEAR AGAINST HIM.  POL IS STILL NEW TO THIS WORLD, BUT HE WILL HAVE TO LEARN FAST IF HE MEANS TO SURVIVE.

"This is Roger Zelazny in top form... more varied, more intense, more vivid than CHANGELING."
- SF Review

"A new and extremely promising saga, which could run as long as his Amber series."
