Babylon 5: The Passing of the Techno-Mages - Invoking Darkness (2001) ISBN 0345438337

Invoking Darkness picks up with the Shadow War raging, the Vorlon Kosh cut down on Babylon 5, and the remaining techno-mages sequestered in their place of hiding. Seeds sown by Morden at the last techno-mage convocation several years previous have begun to come to fruition for the Shadows. Not only are Elizar and Razeel helping to wreak havoc wherever they can, some of the techno-mages at the hiding place now are beginning to think they should join the shadows as well. In an unexpected turn of events, Galen is given a mandate by the Circle to leave the hiding place and to locate and destroy the three people who threaten the techno-mages existence: Morden, Elizar, and Razeel.

Unexpected revelations are made about Anna Sheridan in her role as shadow servant, the role of "the First One" Lorien, and the fate of Wierdan, the first techno-mage. This is a tale not only of revenge, redemption and good over evil-but a wonderful examination of the human condition through each characters motivations and subsequent actions.
