Old instincts stir, and Soren begins to wonder if teaching the four elements might awaken something far greater. Because Soren can’t cast anymore.…Can he?A reversal of the progression fantasy where instead of following a hotheaded protagonist adventurer we follow the retired Soren Faide realize he might have more to offer the world than regret as he collects students like traditional protagonists collect mentors!
