Query Revision #13: Souls of Magic's Night: Dawn of Prophecy


Dear Agent,

If being the last of an immortal race does not make the Archmage Azrael unique, possessing eyes made of mirrors makes him unforgettable.  

Those strange eyes have shown him plenty. Every move, every action, every thought; Azrael has carefully calculated over the past two thousand years. Yet he has watched  people die around him, nations rise and fall, and loved ones wrenched away; never to be seen again. Despite all that, Azrael never lost his focus; to protect his protégé, Isidora, from her fate.

Now a time of turmoil has begun once again. While attempting to aid Isidora on a quest to become a more powerful mage, Azrael finds himself thrown into the treacherous gauntlet of world politics. His careful planning unravels, and now Azrael is hunted by two warring kingdoms.

It doesn’t help that a God is behind all of it, and plans to make Isidora his chosen avatar to spearhead his campaign of domination.

With the freedom of the world and the stability of the pantheon of Gods at stake, the Archmage and his protégé travel across a world on the brink of war. In a chess match involving Lords, Kings, and Gods; Azrael only hopes he can remain one step ahead, and save Isidora and the world in the process.

SOULS OF MAGIC’S NIGHT: DAWN OF PROPHECY is an epic fantasy and is complete at 98,300 words. It will appeal to mature readers who are fans of intricate political intrigue, a defined system of magic and a polytheistic hierarchy.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
