After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, he lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of whom have bad histories with him. But he has not returned to pursue vengeance or start a fight — all Marcus wants is to reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two. Alas, the world didn't stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening at large, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way — and if nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.
