Deathmask
This cover has gotten rave reviews everywhere I've shown it. Once again,
the product of the master: Noah
Stacey. Noah and I have become very good friends through our association
as author and artist, despite living at opposite ends of the continent.
He never fails to amaze me with his ability to take something from my
mind's eye and transform it into a beautiful cover.
Azrael is dead.
The most terrible Necromancer the world ever knew has at last succumbed
to the call of his own trade, and all of his foul works have fallen
into ruin.
Or has death itself been cheated?
A thousand years later, the earth once scorched by death magic is
again alive and green, and coveted by two empires of men.
Azrael is all but forgotten.
But history forgotten is often relived.
A small troop of soldiers stumbles onto the rubble of an ancient keep
and finds a relic of chilling beauty and tremendous power. But with
power comes the seduction to use it, and when life and death hang in
the balance, that seduction becomes overwhelming.
Yet there are fates worse than death....
For when Azrael's Deathmask is taken up by a human hand, the master
of death will live again, and his ancient and terrible powers will be
reawakened. But even faced with horrors unspeakable, there are those
who will pay the price - any price - for power and victory, even if
the cost is in human souls....
But how can there be victory when life for Azrael means death for
the world?
