Date: 09 5, 2013
In the initial story, Kevon, apprentice in magic betrayed by his master, receives some measure of satisfaction in his betrayal, destroying a tower of another master who was to kill him. He finds that, unlike others in "the Arts", he is able to handle iron.We find him as an apprentice blacksmith at the beginning of this novel, in hiding from "dark magicians". He and others are forced to return to the destroyed tower, eventually closing its portal which has released all manner of "dark things" into the surrounding countryside. He returns and finds that the "dark magicians" have come out of hiding, and are attempting to take over the kingdom and perhaps the world. He and others blunt several attempts prior to the end of this novel.
