Query: FROM BACK COVER

He was called Damiano Delstrego: wizard's son, alchemist, heir to dark magics. Yet he was also innocent, a young scholar and musician befriended by the Archangel Raphael, who instructed him in the lute.To save his beloved city from war, Damiano left his cloistered life and set out on a pilgrimage, seeking the aid of the powerful sorceress Saara. But his road was filled with betrayal, disillusionment and death, and Damiano was forced to confront his dark-heritage, unleashing the hellish force of his awesome powers to protect those he loved.Among 1983's most highly praised first novel, R.A. MacAvoy's Tea with the Black Dragon was called a "wonderful book" by Elizabeth Lynn and a "delight from cover onward" by Analog. With Damiano, MacAvoy begins the masterful saga of a man who must walk the narrow path between light and shadow. Be sure to read the two concluding volumes, Damiano's Lute and Raphael to complete the adventure!
