Kenneth's Reviews > Black Magic

Black Magic is set in the Middle Ages, but a specific time frame therein is not really specified. All of the characters of the novel are fictitious including the Popes & Emperors. But for all that, the writer paints a picture of 2 youths who are bound together, one of whom, Dirk Renswoude, has sworn allegiance to the Devil in return for worldly power, wealth & glory. The plot revolves how he and his sometime companion and friend, Theirry, go about getting it, using black magic. With Satan helping them, what could go wrong?
