Natural Ordermage

Rahl, a young apprentice scrivener, likes life to work out in his favor. To make sure things go his way, he uses a small amount of order magic in opportunistic moments--but his abilities gains the attention of the Council magisters. Rahl's misuse of his strengthening abilities gets him banished to the empire of Hamor.

As an exile in Hamor, working in the Ordermage Council's import and export business, Rahl's powers increase more--and so does the amount of trouble he can get into.
