Magonomia® freelance designer Mark Lawford has published his first novel!
A Dark Renaissance Fantasy Adventure
Doctor Faustus definitely sold his soul to the devil. Twenty years later, the devil's not sure he wants it.
After years of working for Elector Palatine Philip of Heidelberg (a little alchemy on Wednesdays, murdering wizards on a Thursday) Faust and his loyal werewolf bodyguard find themselves exiled from the city they called home. They set out to swindle their way across the Holy Roman Empire.
Settling in Nuremberg, Faust works his way into the orbit of the Prince-Bishop, who sends him to capture a missing academic and the book he stole. That journey takes Faust back to Heidelberg, into a confrontation with the very devil to whom he sold his soul, and reveals a cosmic truth that nobody should ever know.
This is the first book in The Faust Quartet.
I’ve started reading it and I love Mark’s witty, disarming writing style. His Faust is a lovable knave, doing the right things for the right reasons after thoroughly exploring the alternatives. Mark has absolutely nailed the atmosphere of Renaissance era European magic!
I owe him, and the world, a proper review of this excellent debut novel as soon as I’ve finished reading it.
