He is called The Enlightened One. He is also called a mage, a sorcerer, a magician. He is Magus and he has retreated from the world. That was over a century ago.
Now his daughter, who he has never seen, comes to him in order that she can find her own identity. But she is part of a world that he wants nothing to do with.
Then, another figure from his past comes. Beezlebub, �the being which gave him immortality the fabled Lord of the Flies who brought a plague during the time of the Old Testament comes to claim a promise of long ago.
And Magus must stand idly by while Beezlebub claims his prize. The daughter of Magus.
Magus is the tale of an ancient being who has retreated from the world but is pulled back in by a being even more ancient than himself.
