The wysard Ryel leaves the great Art-citadel Markul to rediscover the long-lost spell that will release his mentor's spirit from the wraithworld of the Void, but a malignant sorcerer likewise imprisoned has enlisted the aid of Ryel's strongest rival to find the spell first. Amid dangers, joys and temptations, Ryel discovers unlikely allies to help him in his quest, and learns that he may well gain all that he wishes...although perhaps not as he wished it. Wysard and its sequel Lord Brother have been critically acclaimed as lyrical, exotic, archetypal tales of love and magic - fantasy at its highest and most heartfelt.

Ryel Mirai, Lord Adept of the great wysard-citadel Markul, continues his search for the lost spell capable of rejoining body and soul, thus bringing his beloved instructor, Edris, back to life. But someone seeks to thwart his quest: Lord Michael Essern, a dedicated student of the Arts of Death. Lord Michael has sworn allegiance to the daimon Dagar, who seeks to return to the World re-embodied in Ryel's form. Ryel began his quest by freeing the Sovrena Diara from Dagar's tormenting spells. In Lord Brother, Dagar draws the young wysard deeper into danger, ever closer to the fulfillment of the demon's plans to plunge the World into unending torment. When Ryel becomes involved with the shadowy cult of the Sword Brotherhood he unwittingly jeopardizes his plan to rescue Edris. Meanwhile, his teacher's body awaits the life-essence that can be re-instilled into him only by the joining-spell...if Ryel can find it. Even if he does, can the spell be made to succeed? Or will victory go to Michael, Ryel's nemesis...and Lord Brother?
