Damiano
R. A. MacAvoy · 3 novels · 1984
Damiano follows a young alchemist and lute player in Renaissance-flavored Italy who sets out, with the help of the archangel Raphael, to bring peace to his war-torn home city, only to find that stopping a war takes more violence than his gentle magic is suited for. R. A. MacAvoy's trilogy continues through Damiano's Lute and Raphael, later collected as A Trio for Lute, and was praised for its light touch with small-scale magic set against real cruelty.
