More Description

Makennan Novantumus, a sorcerer by birth, blood and craft, has already endured horrors far beyond those of temporal imaginings. Now he ranges even deeper into deific realms of manipulating betrayal as the tide of stakes continues to rise! His goddess Vishanti, Lady of all Magic and Keeper of the Veil, is restored to her domains of Conjurey because of this mage's enduring love and thrice-cursed refusal to give surrender. Now he is drawn into a web of lies and usury surpassing that of any dark elven Matron from the depths of Everdeep, homeland to his eternal ally and adversary Arrinae Ot'Lythiust. The alien artifact Annulus has arrived to Ea'dred from beyond his world, one capable of annihilating Symordia, goddess of Mind, along with every one of her followers. The Terzian, a world-eater drawn nigh from Veil War's twisted deprivations, challenges the Pantheon and could bring about Maugrymnn, the End of All Things. Time itself is unbalanced. A great Foe unseen and unknown to the deities works to bring about eternal Entropy, casting Makennan's Sphere of Existence down the rapacious gullet of destruction. The sorcerer-cum-demigod travels to Uncial, Concourse of Ways within the cross-dimensional Outlands, seeking means to slay a god!One simply must have allies within such grand scope and heinous cross-purposes. Sylentahl Corvyrn, halfling druidess and reincarnation of Makennan's only mortal love. The Wu Jen of Jade, An-Tsai de Chadhla, his barely of flesh mother-in-law. Saraid Úna Ní, wife and Warlock with a penchant for enchanted rings. His hellborne manservant of centuries, Horkul Talonspell the Impkith. And of course Arrinae Ot'Lythiust the Drow, servant of Oussiryn, Queen of Treachery. She'll try to kill him along the way, certainly, but it won't be Arrinae who succeeds. In course of Vendetta he must keep in mind the first and last rule of all Magic. Nothing is what it seems!
