[BOOK 1 COMPLETE] Wynn Morgan knows cows. He knows a lot about cows. Unfortunately, that's not useful at the Spellwright's Guild, where he's supposed to be training to become a Grandmaster: the first and only mage his farming village has ever produced. He's never enchanted a Heat rune. He's never foraged moonbell moss. He can’t pick a Lesser Clarity Potion out of a lineup. And in the magic-drenched town of Moonstone Harbour, that's a problem. After failing his Iron exam once, he’s been given an ultimatum: pass the next exam in thirty days, or pack his bags and head back to the farm for good. But his formidable mentor refuses to teach him enchanting, a rival apprentice is stripping the Unranked gathering sites bare, and something in Wynn himself is starting to wake up. Mana that pulls toward the full moon in ways no one can explain, commissions that tug at his mind, and a locked perk tied to the very source of the Guild's fading power. All Wynn wants is his Iron badge. But beneath the cozy surface of the harbour town, deeper secrets are starting to stir... This story is only posted on Royal Road.
