false 1348596 2 <b>First in a new fantasy series from the author of the <i>Cloudmages</i> trilogy.</b> <br/><br/> An intricate tale of murder and magic, deception and betrayal, Machiavellian politics, star-crossed lovers, and a world on the brink of devastating war.... <br/><br/> Over the decades and slow centuries, the city of Nessantico spread its influence in all directions, subsuming and converting the majority of other religions and lesser gods within the Holdings. Always strong even as the borders of the Holdings ebbed and flowed under the effects of war and commerce, always magnificent even as tastes and styles changed, always seductive and desirable no matter what other exotic lands and places might briefly come into fashion, Nessantico gathered to itself all that was intellectual, all that was rich, all that was powerful. There was no city in the known world that could rival it. But there were many who envied it... 1338255 5 2 2008 A Magic of Twilight: Book One of the Nessantico Cycle total:30|5:1|4:14|3:12|2:3| 30 103 94 10 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 28 14:35:34 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 14:37:48 -0800 2009 Book 1 of the Nessantico Cycle
