But chief among those names and the most dangerous of his personae was Nightfall, a man-or perhaps the legendary demon himself-gifted with a power any sorcerer would kill to possess.Now, Nightfall makes his triumphant return in a spellbinding new adventure that sweeps readers from the high courts to the darkest dungeons, from piracy and derring-do at sea to sorcerous encounters and cutthroat attacks in enemy territory. Bound by sorcery and oath to guard and guide Prince Edward on his quest, Nightfall is forced to reveal his true name, Sudian, and to use every trick at his command to keep himself and his idealistic young charge alive. And when Edward suddenly becomes a king, he makes Sudian his advisor. But advisor or not, Sudian cannot dissuade King Edward from a journey to repay a debt of honor to Duke Varsah, an expedition that ends in disaster when all of Edward's guards are slain and the king himself vanishes without a trace. Now Sudian must turn to Duke Varsah for aid. But is he putting himself into the clutches of the very man responsible for Edward's disappearance, a man whose greatest desire is vengeance against Sudian himself?

Danny Briggs is a simple yet conflicted thief. To successfully ply his trade, Briggs can&’t draw attention to himself, but he longs to do something worth remembering. Luck is on his side when he hits the mother lode: discovering the original manuscript of the balladeer who wandered the spaceways a century ago, recording the adventures of larger-than-life heroes, villains, and misfits—including Santiago. Briggs doesn&’t want to sell the manuscript, he wants to add to it. All he needs is his century&’s version of Santiago, a man who may be on the wrong side of the law, but the right side of justice. To find this protagonist, Briggs partners up with Santiago&’s last descendant, a dancer named Waltzin&’ Matilda. They comb through the universe&’s good, bad, and ugly looking for a new folk hero to inspire the masses. It&’s not easy, but Briggs is willing to pay the price—even though there&’s one on his head. &“Pecos Bill and Wild Bill Hickok would feel right at home with such characters as Tyrannosaur Bailey and the One-Armed Bandit. Seekers of space-age sagebrush need look no farther.&” —Publishers Weekly
