I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
John is nearly ready to retire to a quiet life of farming, but first he has to get through a magic competition held once every thousand years.
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- John navigates mage politics and an aggressive dragon empire that wants revenge for the death of Farroutef, per the publisher blurb.
- His journey takes him to a strange new world where he feels out of place again and considers walking away for good.
- An encounter with a local god changes his direction and teaches him more about himself.
- He is joined by his loyal sidekick Rosh Vahni.
Where the Book Leaves Off
Not verified: no source we could open describes the final chapter of Book 8. The Book 9 blurb says John returns from the competition to find the Resplendent Empire has declared war on him and Candle Scholar Tower, which implies that is the cliffhanger.
