Death Mage — Brad Magnarella

Playing fast and loose with the Order's rules has finally caught up with me. Sentenced to hunt down a cagey insurgent known as the Death Mage, I'm not feeling overly optimistic. Wizards with far more experience have tried and, well ... died. But overmatched or not, I want this assignment. The Death Mage killed my mother-he might also be my father. I can't lose my head, though. The mage wields an evil, mind-warping magic. A power that undermines his victims' sanity while pledging their souls to an ancient being and devourer of worlds. How would I even know if his magic was corrupting me? Or is it already? Death Mage is the 4th novel in the quarter-million selling Croftverse. If you like occult action, spell-crackling suspense, and moments of heart, heroism, and all-out laughter, you'll love Prof Croft!
