Millennial Mage

The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within their ever-dying cities, and Mages create the only path forward. Tala fought tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge her own path to power. She skipped a few steps—like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Now she must balance learning as fast as she can with paying off a mountain of debt, all while staying alive. Even though she should only be a Mageling, the world considers her a Mage.

Still burdened with an overly large debt, Tala must balance repayment with learning opportunities and surviving the arcanous creatures increasingly focused on her. She must also explore newly acquired magical items, investigate a potentially lethal source of power, and trust her defenses to get her home with the caravan intact. What she had thought was the peak of power is only the beginning of her journey as a Mage.

Tala has returned home with her mission successful and her money-pouch temporarily refilled. Her inscriptions have been renewed and completed, granting her newfound power she must learn to control. She has also discovered the secret of truly powerful Mages—the creation of an Archon Star—and is determined to forge hers from an unconventional material. It is a gamble that could lead to triumph or downfall when the time comes to complete her Binding.

Newly Bound, Tala strives against old and new challenges as the world opens up before her. Her responsibilities to the caravan have increased, and an overseer now watches her closely. The treacherous path to a new city has already proven more dangerous than her last journey, and Tala is learning hard lessons about herself, the world, and the people she is determined to protect.

Having witnessed the marvels of the forest cities and the perils of the southern woods, Tala prepares for a treacherous journey back to the plains. Guided by Terry, Rane, and the enigmatic Mistress Odera, she hones her skills as ancient defenders of mankind emerge from the shadows and hidden perils threaten to unravel everything she thinks she knows about the world.

Tala is finally able to test the edges of her growing capacities among a group of peers. Hungry for ascension, she pushes boundaries she once deemed unbreakable. But continuing to Fuse requires a cost she will struggle to pay—and to advance, she must confront her origins and the full weight of where she has come from. Success or failure will depend on how she faces that reckoning.

Tala has been seized and torn away from everything she has ever known. A false history and personality were implanted within her—only her revolutionary defenses and self-restoration magic gave her any chance at all. Behind enemy lines, she has an unexpected opportunity to seize power, learn from ancient experts, and delve into the secrets of humanity's mortal foe. To return home, she must claim authority within the very Major House that stole her freedom.

Through tribulation and hardship, Tala has managed to return to the human lands, her freedom hard won and her self intact. Her family and friends await, but time away has left its mark. She must face new trials and the new weight she carries—and find a way through challenges she has never faced before. This time, she is no longer alone.

Tala, a newly Refined Archon with extraordinary power, grapples with the challenges of immortality and the need to shed her mortal mindset. In the waning city of Alefast, potent threats gather faster than ever. As she confronts the harsh realities of her existence—and the potential consequences of living forever—Tala's immortal life as a Defender of Humanity has just begun.

With Kit now soulbound, Tala finds her soul pulled further from humanity even as her ties to her people grow stronger. Coming to fully accept her identity as the Ravenous, Jealous Devourer, she must choose how to spend her immortal life and where to invest her resources. Yet even immortality does not guarantee eternity, and increasing dangers draw ever more powerful attention toward her.

Immortality can be a heavy burden, but Tala is not walking this long path alone. With the shackles of mortality well and truly discarded, Tala and her companions continue to progress and grow—all while growing more aware of those they will necessarily leave behind. To truly embrace the future unencumbered, the dark parts of the past must be faced.

Advancement is tantalizingly close, and with Tala immortal and powerful in ways she is only beginning to understand, the reality of Zeme is coming ever clearer. As she prepares to alter her soul and her life once again, she must face who she has become—and who she is becoming. After the wedding, the world will open to her in ways she never imagined.
