Opis

Welcome to the new edition of Human Mage, the next book in the Highmage's Plight Series. The Demonlord seeks his death and all archeologist, George Bradley, wants is to get back to Earth through the ripple in reality that brought him here. As a DHR (data humanistic rapport) computer, I should not be worried, but on this world where elvin magic twisted the laws of science, I seem a bit too human for my crystalline circuits. George's big plan, infiltrate the Imperial Capital in the guise of a foreign merchant, sneaking into the Imperial Capital while the Demonlord's minions hunt elsewhere. That turns out to be the easy part. He must be accepted as a Human Mage by the Imperial Guild if he's any chance to get home. That means he must be challenged... There has never been a human mage. After all, apparently everyone here knows that humans cannot do magic because they have no souls. We are about to meet Mage Academy apprentices who have less than stellar reputations; and a street urchin, who attempts to steal from the wrong person. It will take a so called Human Mage to save them. Oh, George also will be accused of murder and will need my skills not just to prove his innocence but to solve the case. A shapechanging beast, lovely sword wielding bodyguards who think they have married him, lots of dwarves, spies, dark magery, the politics of the elvin court, and a young Empress in trouble... life as a computer alter-ego is getting way too complicated.
