The Dark Shore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dark Shore is a 1996 novel written by A. A. Attanasio.
The Dark Shore is a novel in which a Dark Lord returns to the world of Irth with reptilian cacodemons, determined—again—to conquer it. A powerful mage on the brink of transcendence, poised to merge with Creation after amassing vast magical Charm. The mage perceives time in layered simultaneity—viewing a building in its full temporal arc, from pristine plain to decaying ruin. Ultimately, the mage forgoes cosmic unity to battle the Dark Lord.[1]
