Magi'i of Cyador is the beginning of a new story arc from the rich depths of the history of Recluce. It is the story of Lorn, a talented boy born into a family of Magi'i. A fastidious student of remarkable talent, Lorn lacks the single most coveted attribute required of a Magus of unquestionable loyalty. Lorn is too independent for his own good. So he's made into a lancer officer and shipped off to the frontier to fight off the all-too-frequent barbarian raids—a career that comes with a 50% mortality rate. His enemies don't expect him to survive Lorn is a fresh, new character who will enrich one of the most important fantasy series of the the Saga of Recluce.
