Rahl, a young apprentice scrivener on the island of Recluce, likes life to work out in his favor. To make sure things go his way, he uses a small amount of order magic in opportunistic moments, but his abilities are starting to get the attention of the Council magisters. He's not like other ordermages, the same rules don't seem to apply to his magic. And he has a bad attitude too. It gets him sent to the mages' training school for testing, and then banishment to Hamor, where his learning continues under dangerous circumstances.
During Rahl's exile in Hamor, working in the Ordermage Council's import and export business, his powers increase--and so does the amount of trouble he can get into. Welcome to the fantasy world of L. E. Modesitt, where the adventure is just beginning.]]> 1301649 3.76 11454 443 2007 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 18:03:11 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 18:14:52 -0800 2008 more...]]>
