Publisher's Synopsis
'Magic, It is the ability to bend reality to your whim. It is the strength to fight off the monsters that assail us. And If all the world had such power, how long before we too become monsters?' Richard Reyne, Lord of Tolls Axis is at the crossroads, its King passed and its throne vacant. Its true heir is lost to a distant enemy and time is running out to save him. The duty of his rescue thrust upon him, Lord Reyne must contend with not only enemies without, but also the ambitions of those within. For in a city of magic, nothing is as it seems.
