Announcing The Twilight Magus

Announcing The Twilight Magus

You could be forgiven for thinking we’d seen the last of Carl Sanford. In the aftermath of Herald of Ruin and the events of The Drowned City, the one-time leader of the Silver Twilight Lodge was forced to depart Arkham, seemingly usurped by the ascendant Randall Tillinghast.

But even in exile, Sanford lusts for power – and he has a plan to get it, in The Twilight Magus, a brand-new Arkham Horror novel by author Tim Pratt, coming this July from Aconyte Books.

The Twilight Magus continues the story of Sanford’s quest for occult power begun in The Ravening Deep and Herald of Ruin. This time, though, Sanford is far from home…

From Aconyte Books:

Carl Sanford, once the Silver Twilight Lodge’s great leader and now presumed dead, lives in anonymity in Spain, plotting revenge against those who betrayed him. Alone, he calculates his first move to achieve power abroad is by being initiated into the mysterious ancient society called the Red Coterie to secretly take it over. Despite Sanford’s reputation, the Red Coterie demands proof of his occult prowess, sending him on a quest to vanquish The Blood Moon, a reclusive blood magus manipulating humans and monsters alike to achieve their own ends. As Sanford uses every scrap of cunning he possesses to outwit his enemies and prove his worth, old foes from Arkham have discovered his existence and are coming to finish him off once and for all.

We’ll have more on The Twilight Magus, including release date and pre-order details soon.
