Retrograph Whorls are some what like 3d representations of specific memories. Benjamin Skyhammer is there keeper. Benjamin never wanted to be a keeper, what he wanted was magic! On a world where most humans could do magic, being without magical  ability in a society hierarchically  stratified by the strength of magical power placed you at the very bottom and vulnerable. Being a relic hunter did provide him with some status but more importantly it provided Benjamin the chance to find a relic that my give him magic. Unfortunately hunting for relics kept him from his  appointed job as keeper and protector of the Retrograph. Unfortunately the unthinkable has happened, someone has entered that private domain and has not only seen but  altered very personal private individual retrographs . Benjamin as keeper has to find at who it is, how they did it and bring them before the King, who's own retrographs have been dramatically altered and do it before an up coming crucial  planet wide ceremony takes place.The characters are well written and highly varied. The backgrounds and action are  imaginative and well drawn. When it's all said and done, I liked the book and enjoyed reading it.
