Chronomancer

"A sword may kill a single person. An idea can change the world. Imagine what someone can do with magic." Except using magic in Caesea is punishable by death. Kincaid, a journeyman carpenter with artistic skills not seen in generations, discovers his shop is on the wrong side of underworld loans. In a blast of unknown and untamed power to protect those he loves, Kincaid changed his bright future in the Carpentry Guild to a dank prison beyond the laws of the city. Thrust into city politics, Kincaid faces impossible choices to escape to save his loved ones or embrace being a pawn in the games of political power. All the while a whispering voice invades his thoughts, pushing him to become the Chronomancer. To change his destiny, Kincaid must embrace the darkest secret of magic only the Magi know.

The odds are stacked against him with new challenges. On the run from the ruling houses in Caesea, Kincaid struggles to honor the wishes of his former teacher. Unstable magical power leads to rejection in the ancient capital of the Empire of a Thousand Spears and leaves the young magi without a purpose. Scrabbling to stay alive, Kincaid finds company in a group of misfit sorcerers bent on uncovering the darkest depths of power. Facing impossible moral challenges, Kincaid, with new companions at his side, must make a stand against a new generation of magicians. Will the ability to bend time be enough for a single Chronomancer to confront the Schools of Magic?

Another orphan discovers her arcane power and finds herself in the crosshairs of a hunting wizard. Lin must flee her home and seek help in the far north. Ancient magic and myths come to life, but will it be enough to save Lin and her new companion? Lin must answer life's toughest questions. What would you pay for your freedom, to protect those who protect you, to save the ones you love? Would you be willing to risk it all even when you knew the price was your life? These are the same questions Kincaid must answer, but the outcome is very different. Kincaid receives strange visions and leaves his friends behind to race north toward his destiny.

Everyone has secrets. Some people will kill to protect them. Kincaid returns from the north and finds himself embroiled in a decades-old war that reaches into the heart of his closest friends. Dark murders plague the streets and implicate a powerful mage striking from the shadows. With unchecked powers, Kincaid's enemy presents his greatest challenge. Kincaid and his friends must face their most terrible secrets and confront the power threatening to destroy the world. Are his powers as the Chronomancer enough to save the world? Magic has its price, and all secrets will be revealed.

The Bonds of Magic are stronger than death. Old enemies seek revenge, and new opponents hunger for Kincaid's power. Knowledge tempts Kincaid to leave his artisan life far from the clutches of magic for a venerable city living in the shadows of its former glory. An ancient cult hides within the folds of religious orders and craves Kincaid's abilities as an archmagi. He is the key to unleashing the bonds of magic. Only his steadfast friends and his abilities as a Chronomancer stand between him and this ruthless organization's goal to redefine the structure of arcane might. Can he regain his power through the Bonds of Magic and stop their plans to unleash an arcane apocalypse?

Wars are inevitable. This one is for the fate of the world. Kincaid races against the Drakean Order to thwart their plans to unleash the denizens of the arcane prison. He must take his closest friends, Sholeh, Sigurd, Adelaise, and Nakira, back to where their stories began to uncover the clues to the Drakean plan. When he understands the depths of their plot, he must gather the disciples of every discipline of magic to prepare for the inevitable battle. He must rely on every skill, power, and friend to have a chance at stopping their scheme. But when he discovers his darkest secret wrapped up in the Drakean plot, how will he ever have a chance at victory in the Wars of Magic? This adventure features Kincaid, Sholeh, Adelaise, Sigurd, and Nakira in their final race to understand the powers of magic in the Chronomancer universe.
