The Phoenix and the Mirror - Davidson's first book about the adventures of the sorcerer known as Vergil Magus. Vergil's first goal was to construct a mirror that had never before reflected a human face. It was an almost impossible task, but when it was finally completed the face that appeared on the mirror's surface was that of Princess Laura of Carsus, and Vergil fell in love with her beautiful reflection. But to find and win the Princess herself, Vergil had to undertake a long and hazarous journey - at the end of which he would meet the demon powers of the Phoenix itself.
