More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Jace Beleren is a planeswalker who has taken the path of least resistance. He is gifted and powerful, but chooses not to push himself. Part of an inter-planar consortium that deals in magical artifacts, Jace has some power and influence. He also has a certain amount of security. That's all about to change. When Liliana, a dark temptress with demons of her own (quite literally), comes into his life, she brings with her more possibilities, but also more problems. Under attack from external interests, a friend dies because of decisions Jace made. Upset with himself and fearing for his life, Jace sets out to find who is behind this new threat. What he uncovers along the way, an inter-planar chase filled with peril, will alter everything he knows.

A gem for Magic the Gathering!
2 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been reading Magic Novels from the beginning. I have read the Brothers War probably three times and most of the early novels more then once. The sad thing is Magic Novels have been dwindling in their quality since the newest creative team has taken over and I haven't been able to get into the characters and the setting were pretty mediocre.
Then this gem came along! This novel was excellent form th emoment I picked it up! I simply could not put it down! It flowed very well and the writing style of Ari is very, very nice to read.
The story itself is good also and makes me enjoy the characters very much. If you are looking for your next MtG novel or just looking to read a good fantasy novel then pick this one up!

A turning point in MTG novel quality
18 April 2009
Format:Hardcover
As the other reviewers have said, this book is very good for an MTG novel. I was surprised at how well the author balanced the exploration of sheer power that planeswalkers posses in the setting and the soul searching (though often adolescent) that the use of such power for personal gain can bring about. The main characters are well written; they have enough in the way of archetypes to make them readily understandable, yet have enough individuality to make them capable of surprising the reader.
All in all, the book was a light and enjoyable read cover to cover, though the structure of the first half (flashback technique) left me slightly confused for a bit.

Agents of Awesome
3 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
I had purchased this book at a Friday Night Magic session a few months back. By then, they had already sold out of the Jace cards (of course). Nevertheless, I picked up the book as well as the Divine vs. Demonic pack and went on my way.
I must say that the first chapter or so of this book is a bit tedious, but good things truly do come to those who wait. I very much like how the author incorporated multiple planeswalkers into his novel, even though my personal favorite doesn't make it in the end (or does he?), as well as how he develops Jace's character. Granted, some of the other characters are left somewhat incomplete, but this can be expected as they are not as vital to the story. Once I muddled through the first few chapters I couldn't put this book down!
On the whole, much better than the Shadowmoor book and even the Llorwyn and Morningtide books. I highly reccomend this book!
