Two thousand years have come and gone since the High Age of Man came to an end, but for its greatest survivor, the fight is only beginning.
Will, the newly appointed court mage to Countess Catherine Trist, is no longer a relic of the past, but he's got a target on his back. Tasked by the system to find the five tomes of magic, Will must leave the safety of Endara, to continue his quest in the rugged land of Kelum. It is a kingdom where clans rule through iron and blood, where life is a daily struggle to keep the terrors that pour out of the mountain passes at bay. But the Dyvari haven't been idle, pulling the strings of humanity from a mysterious nexus high above the world, intent on preventing the mage from completing his quest. In this new land of steel and stone, Will and Catherine must bridge the gap between two different eras to protect the people he's grown close to, and to prevent the past from repeating itself.
