Shadow of the Otherverse by James Berardinelli




According to legend, there was once a time when wizards walked the lands of Ayberia. With powers so mighty that even kings bowed to them, they existed outside the common laws of men. But a thousand years ago, the gods, angry at their creations for giving adulation and worship to wizards, withdrew magic from the world. The wonders of a lost age faded from memory with history giving birth to myths and children's stories...

Now, the gods are dead. Wizards have returned to Ayberia and, with them, war. The Lord of Fire, Justin, backed by an army of mercenaries, djinn, and dragons, has surged from the south to score a devastating win in his first engagement with The Lord of Earth, Sorial, and his wife, The Lady of Water, Alicia. With Justin’s forces advancing, the remaining cities must brace for battle. Justin’s intentions, however, extend beyond conquest and devastation. The Lord of Fire has an audacious goal - to enter the Otherverse, the realm from which magical energy originates, and be reborn as a god.
