From the concrete canyons of the modern city to the halls of ancient
kings, from deepest ocean to cosy homes in sprawling suburbs, nowhere
and no one is immune to magic. But as many forms as magic takes, there
always arrives a hero to accept the challenge, and sometimes, to pay
the price.
The hearts and imaginations of some of today’s
finest writers come together to create this one-of-a-kind collection.
Gerbert was a farmer’s son in an obscure town in France, but
his gifts of mind and intellect were so remarkable that even in the feudal
world of the tenth century, he could rise far above his station. Princes and
prelates courted him; emperors called him friend and teacher. He brought the
lost art of mathematics back into Europe; he was an astronomer, a musician, a
builder of strange and wonderful devices. In the end he reached the pinnacle of
the world, a seat so lofty and an authority so great that he answered only to
God Himself.
But Gerbert was more than a simple professor of the mathematical arts, or even
a prince of the Church. As a young student in Spain, guided by his priestly
patron, he entered into the study of another art altogether, a hidden art,
mastering mighty powers of mystery and magic.
Magic, as every student of the art knows, has a price—and the greater the
magic, the higher the price. The magic that came to Gerbert was very great
indeed.
