Mage-Guard of Hamor

Rahl was a young apprentice on the island of Recluce sent to the
mages training school for testing, then banished to Hamor. His education
now continues under dangerous circumstances. In Hamor, his powers have
increased, but so has the amount of trouble he attracts.

The whole society of Hamor is a new culture for Modesitt—and Rahl—to
explore, one in which magic is a monopoly of the state. Rahl is a mage
now, powerful and still just as dangerous to himself and to others. This
is the story of how he gains both more knowledge and power, and more
self-control.
