A Manhattan coven, Octoberland, weaves ancient black magic to preserve the life of its 7,000-year-old leader, Nox. The sorcerer staves off death by leaching years from his followers’ blood. But Nox’s reckless search for eternal youth has opened the gate to - Irth. From this alien world of wizards, witch queens, and blacker magic yet, goblins invade Earth!

Meanwhile, on Irth darkness lurks at the heart of a city rebuilt from ashes - as a weak-minded ruler and his renegade witch wife hoard technological trinkets from the Dark Shore…from Earth.

Automatic weapons challenge talismanic magic and the amulet power of Charm. Evil threatens two worlds - Irth and Earth - in the stunning climax of The Dominions of Irth.

A bittersweet end to an epic

A worthy ending to an amazing story. I don't think I've ever experienced a world quite like it.
