Mage-Guard of Hamor
Acclaimed bestselling author L. E. Modesitt, Jr., continues his saga of Recluce in Mage-Guard of Hamor. This is the second of two volumes set mostly on the continent of Hamor, far across the sea from Recluce, where the saga began.
As a young apprentice on the island of Recluce, Rahl was sent to the mages training school for testing, then banished to Hamor. His education now continues under dangerous circumstances. In Hamor, his powers have increased, but so had the amount of trouble he attracts.
The whole society of Hamor is a new culutre for Modesitt — and Rahl — to explore, one in which magic is a monopoly of the state. Rahl is a mage now, powerful and still just as dangerous to himself and to others. This is the story of how he gains both more knowledge and power, and more self control.
