Will Thaddeus agree to barter his soul to the Daemon to regain his Powers?
From the imagination of bestselling and award-winning author Louis Sauvain, Book 5, Thaddeus and the Emperor has arrived. It continues The Tower of the Cin trilogy of the College of Sorcerers series. Rescued by the Ancient One, Thaddeus now faces the all-powerful Emperor of the Cin reigning from the ancient capital of Cinoton.
Thaddeus is granted extraordinary privilege using the Green Dragon's bone flute, only to stir the wrath of the Princeling who long ago sought his death. He is oblivious to the extent of the Prince's lust for power, including his plan to eliminate all the Imperial Family placing the blame on the Beewickean's shoulders. To escape, Thaddeus must regain his Powers.
