Damian Spires is ready to settle down. After all, life with Aziramin Dizket has been surprisingly peaceful, even for a War Mage.

He had bought the ring and rehearsed the proposal. But before he could get the words out, fate kicked in the door. Summoned to Aziramin’s homeworld by divine decree, Damian is dragged into a conflict older than legend, and far more personal than he expected. While Aziramin struggles with her destiny, Damian finds himself in prison and out of his depth.

Help arrives in the form of an unlikely trio: a crusader-turned-Hell-Knight, a fashion-forward vampire and a sibling with a rebellion to run. Together, they must confront cosmic politics and a gleefully unhinged War Mage in order to prevail.

Magic and multi-dimensional mayhem collide in THE ACE OF HAYDES, the second book in the Spires Saga by Mortimer Langford.
