Synopsis

Inspired by the legends of the Dark Ages, The Phoenix and the Mirror is the story of the mighty Vergil - not quit the Vergil of our history books (the poet who penned The Aeneid), but the Vergil conjured by the medieval hero, alchemist, and sorcerer extraordinaire. Hugo Award winner Avram Davidson has mingled fact with fantasy, turned history askew, and come up with a powerful fantasy adventure that is an acknowledged classic of the field.
