Palindrome: Book One of the Black Mirage

Austian d'Murell-the infamous, broody and narcissistic mixed-blood Davoshi of Leothe-returns home from the forbidden Havoc Wastes with an unparalleled form of magic: the ability to manipulate time. But a dark secret lurking deep inside him threatens to destroy everything he's struggled to gain and all that he holds dear- including himself. Will he survive his self-destruction long enough to correct a single mistake, made not so long ago, on a fateful night in the gardens of Redolence, underneath blooming rosebrush and a winsome star-speckled sky?
