Product Description
[Second in a series that began with "Not Long Before the End"] Twelve thousand years before the birth of Christ, in an age when miracles were somewhat more common, a Warlock used an ancient secret to save his life. In later years he regretted that. He had kept the secret of the Warlock's Wheel for several normal lifetimes. The demon-sword Glirendree and its stupid barbarian captive would have killed him, no question of that. But no mere demon could have been as dangerous as that secret. Now it was out, spreading like ripples on a pond. The battle between Glirendree and the Warlock was too good a tale not to tell. Soon no man would call himself a magician who did not know that magic could be used up. So simple, so dangerous a secret. The wonder was that nobody had noticed it before. A year after the battle with Glirendree, near the end of a summer day, Aran the Peacemonger came to Shayl Village to steal the Warlock's Wheel. Locus Poll Award Nominee

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading!, February 3, 2008
I'll admit it up front, I'm not a fan of shorter fiction. I like novels. Sometimes, though, a shorter work will worm its way into my library. "What Good is a Glass Dagger" did just that many years ago - and surprisingly (to those who know me) it remains there, even after many purges to make room on my shelves for more books. I love this story. I would recommend it to fantasy readers and fans of Mr. Niven's work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Reader, April 3, 2008
The old Warlock still has the mana experimentation thing going on. A werewolf wants in, and he has a problem with a snail dragon as well.

So he goes for a low-tech sneaky solution, with a bit of subterfuge, as well as a bit of magical innovation.
