Synopsis

Hedin, a True Mage, decides to challenge the Young Gods who rule Hjorvard. His main aims are to free a friend and to restore justice. After a thousand years of exile, marked by humiliation and oblivion, he has gained power and wisdom and concludes that he is ready for revenge. He fears no powerful figure and inspires others to stand against the gods. With a single apprentice and loyal allies he sets out to deliver justice, but he must do so without destroying the world, while an even greater evil approaches.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
