In Elisha Magus, the barber-surgeon, feared and hunted for his spectacular regicide, finds himself under the protection of a duke, and offered the duke’s daughter, Rosalynn, in marriage. When Elisha escorts Rosalynn to a retreat in the New Forest, he hopes to recover the dread talisman stolen by his lover and teacher, Brigit, after the battle. Elisha learns more about the shadowy nature of witches and the truth of his own power: that he has become so close to Death that he is indivisible from it—a power that Brigit is desperate to learn. Does his knowledge make him a necromancer, feeding on the fear and pain of others?
When he befriends the discredited Prince Thomas, Elisha has the chance to forge a more just nation, but his enemies grow stronger and more vicious, wielding the power of death to craft a reign of horrors that will blacken the future of England—and maybe the world.

“ELISHA BARBER is an edgy, vivid story with engaging characters and a well-drawn setting that’s almost, but not quite, our own history. I was drawn right in, quick as a slash of a barber’s razor.”
– Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of CLOCKWORK ANGELS
The middle ages had its princes, to be sure, but let’s not forget that it was Machiavelli who pegged their character. Nobility, knights, oaths and swords mean glory to the modern reader…but to the common man of the medieval era, they meant fear, pain, treachery. Magic is not a means to greater glory—unless you crave the glory of the flame.
This is not your father’s fantasy world.
From the dirty streets of fourteenth century London, a hero walks. He does not stride. He does not mount his destrier and ride fiercely off to embrace his destiny. Beneath the burden of tragedy, Elisha walks. He is no king. He is no fool. He is, in fact, a barber. And a haunted man.
There will be sorcery, swordfights, and secrets. There will be honor, glory, and sacrifice. Oh, yes, there will be sacrifice.
England in the fourteenth century:
a land of poverty and opulence, prayer and plague, witchcraft and necromancy. Where the medieval barber-surgeon Elisha seeks redemption as a medic on the front lines of an unjust war, and is drawn into the perilous world of sorcery by a beautiful young witch. In the crucible of combat, utterly at the mercy of his capricious superiors, Elisha must attempt to unravel conspiracies both magical and mundane, as well as come to terms with his own disturbing new abilities. But the only things more dangerous than the questions he’s asking are the answers he may reveal…
