Old Friends

About the Book

The last time Rod Poitra saw his old friend, the mage Derrick Lashan, Lashan was, literally, insane. As in, tied-to-the-bed, screaming crazy. So, when Lashan shows up on Rod’s doorstep two years later, the former pipe-carrier is just happy Lashan knows his own name. But then Rod gets a visit from the otherworldly being Sebastian Strange, who warns Rod that Lashan isn’t nearly as together as he seems. Can an emotionally-burned-out pipe-carrier stop Lashan from destroying himself and everyone else on the res? The things you do for your friends!
