Overview

Walk the Blind Eternities!

The New York Times best-selling author Matthew Stover brings his razor-sharp prose and hard-hitting characterization to the Multiverse of Magic: The Gathering®.
 
From the ashes of defeat, the planeswalker Tezzeret will rise again.  Beaten to within an inch of his life and left for dead by the psychic sorcerer Jace Beleren, Tezzeret has lost control of the Infinite Consortium—an interplanar cabal he built from the ground up to achieve the sort of power and influence few in the Multiverse have ever achieved. Now he must turn to a former enemy for help: the dragon Nicol Bolas, perhaps the only being in the Multiverse powerful enough to get him back on his feet.

    Highly Recommended - worth every penny!

    A definitely good read... gripping storyline and complex characters make this book most interesting. It's fascinating how the once brutal, cruel and megalomaniac Tezzeret suddenly transforms into a cold and calculating machine of a man for better or for worse. His strained relationship with Jace Beleren and Baltrice, and his antagonistic relationship with the legendary Nicol Bolas makes it all worthwhile. If you're into the storylines of Magic the Gathering and want to see the inside of the minds of the various Planeswalkers, this is THE book for you.

    Cannot find the words for this amazing story

    This is one of the best books I have ever read, Tezzeret is one of the most amazing characters I have ever had the joy of getting to read about. The author perfectly showed ever aspect of the characters and portrayed all the plainswalkers well. From the goody two shoes Jace to the eve thinking Bolas everything was perfect and I would highly suggest this to anyone who is almost as smart as they think they are.

    Highly Recommended

    Magic the Gathering books in general are great. I played the card game years ago but only started reading the books in the past year and I have to say I'm impressed with them. They are much different from what I'm used to and think they are all great!
