by Alan Dean FosterIn The Moment of the Magician Alan Dean Foster continues the adventures of Jon Thomas Meriweather, the Spellsinger, in a land where magic and constant danger combine against a background of beauty and individual courage.

The Moment of the Magician: Spellsinger 4 (The Spellsinger Adventures #4)
by Alan Dean FosterThe spellsinger Jon-Tom faces off against a malignant magic—from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Relic. Far to the south of the peaceful Bellwoods, where Jon-Tom the spellsinger continues trying to master the art of turning music into magic, a sinister force has awakened: a magician with great ambition and unheard-of power. He summons lightning to do his bidding, commands an army of faceless flying demons, and claims to come from another world—one Jon-Tom suspects might be his own. If he can somehow reason with the unknown magician, perhaps they can combine their talents and find a way to go home together. Wary of this new wickedness, Jon-Tom&’s suspicious mentor sends the spellsinger and his companions on a journey to the southlands, assuring him that the land they are to visit is &“tropical, friendly, and largely uninhabited.&” As Jon-Tom learns all too often, in this mysterious world much will be proven catastrophically wrong.
