Book description
The Last Manuscript of a Master
It began with an accident, as if Fate had a plan for Vergil Magus .
. .
After his trials in the Very Rich City of Averno but before his
crowning achievement of a certain magic mirror, the great sorcerer and
alchemist finds himself on a journey nothing short of epic. Sure he is
slated for death in Rome, Vergil seeks safety in the far reaches of
the EmpireÂ-and finds a world teeming with wonders and magical oddities.
The â unhistoricâ sea adventure is a deft mix of fantastic fact
and fable, showcasing the author's keen attention to the often
forgotten connections between them.
