Summary: A great book!
Review: Young Lord Hanner is the nephew of Lord Faran, the second most powerful man in the city-state of Ethshar of the Spices, but Hanner's life is simple with few responsibilities. Then one night comes the Night of Madness. Many people throughout the city wake screaming, suddenly possessed of a great, wholly new form of magic. For some it is a dream come true, for others it is a nightmare. The Overlord fears the new warlocks, Lord Faran sees in them his path to ultimate power, and what the all-powerful Wizard's Guild thinks is everyone's concern. Through this all, Lord Hanner must find a way to protect the warlocks from the rest of the city, and protect the city from the warlocks.I must admit that I have never read anything by Lawrence Watt-Evans before, and I am very impressed. After a few slow pages, the author suddenly turns up the intensity. I found this book completely impossible to put down. For those of you who play Dungeons and Dragons, this book is of great interest due to it's inclusion of multiple types of magic. This is a great book.
