Young Lerris is certainly dissatisfied along with his life and trade, and yearns to find a put in place the world better suited to his skills and temperament. However in Recluce a big change in situations means taking 1 of 2 options: long term exile from Recluce or braving the dangergeld, a complicated, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands beyond Recluce, with the aim of learning how the globe functions and what his place in it could be. Many usually do not survive. Lerris chooses the dangergeld. When Lerris is definitely sent into intensive training for his mission, it soon turns into obvious that he has a natural skill for magic. And he’ll need magic in the lands beyond, where the power from the Chaos Wizards reigns unchecked. Though it will go against most of his intuition, Lerris must figure out how to make use of his powers in an orderly way before his wanderjahr, or fall victim to Chaos.
