[a progression fantasy]
Magitechnocrats are replacing kings. Meanwhile, in a faraway corner of the Knearwood, Oag is having fun decrypting the underlying calculus of magic. Oag’s fiery, stormy experiments make him a target of the most powerful and ancient of the invading wizards.
If Oag is going to defend unicorns, rescue princesses, and thrive beneath imperial conquest, he will have to enchant cloaks and arrows. He might also need to befriend peasants … including the angry mob that destroyed his family.
