The Magic of Recluce

In this entry of the Saga of Recluce, Gunnar sends his son Lerris to the isolated region of Candar for a rite of passage, unaware that the move is a strategic maneuver. Lerris, who has been raised in secrecy regarding his family's druidic past, encounters his uncle Justen and learns the truth about his father's intentions. The narrative explores the long-standing tension between the order engineers of Recluce and the chaos mages of Candar, a conflict that has escalated to a level threatening the stability of the White Council. Gunnar’s plan relies on Lerris emerging as a powerful order mage to counter a specific, formidable chaos mage, allowing the problem to be resolved without direct involvement from the ruling council. The story follows Lerris’s journey from a confused exile to a capable practitioner who ultimately defeats the antagonist and chooses to settle in Candar as a woodworker.
