Wounded Magus

Natta Magus watched Helva, the granddaughter of Cleopatra, literally leap into hell to save him and Augustan Rome from annihilation. The least he could do was bust her out. His twenty-first century honor would accept nothing less. So along with Cana, a slave-turned-magi apprentice, and Paetus, his self-appointed chronicler, Natta sets off for Alexandria, Egypt, where he hopes to find a way into the Egyptian underworld to rescue Helva. But his ship is attacked and sunk along the North African coast, bringing him face-to-face with a former adversary who has somehow gone from every day, first-century human to magical demigod. And not only that, the adversary wants Natta's help in bringing about a magical apocalypse that will change the world and the history he knows. Natta has to fight his way through pirates, daemonic hordes, and his own dark temptations to not only stop the apocalypse, but save Helva from the Torture Goddess herself. Just another day for him in the Roman Empire. WOUNDED MAGUS is the exciting sequel to SHADOW MAGUS and book three in the "Journals of Natta Magus" series.
