Adam has come far.
Once a lowly apprentice, and a powerless one at that, he has discovered a whole new field of magic. Combining magic and technology into one, he has become the leading light of the university. His innovations have made many things possible, from powerful magics anyone can use to hot air balloons and flying battleships. The world has changed beyond hope of repair.
And yet, the war is not over. King Ephialtes of Tarsier may have lost one army, but he has others—and secret weapons capable of keeping his aristocrats in check and eventually destroying the university. As the King’s people rise in revolt, and Adam and the rest of the university’s population are drawn ever further into the fighting, an old enemy plots his final moves…
The final battle between the old world and the new is about to begin.

Cornell was a young hippie, a new mod, a plastic punk, a new-romantic, a new-waver and now proudly calls himself newly middle aged. Considering life to always have been better in the 70’s and 80’s he finds his cell-phone too big and heavy and hates all tv series so much that he wants to smash his TV (much as a rock star in the 70’s would have) except TV’s don’t explode anymore when you do that...and they’re a whole lot more expensive to replace. Having smoked too much in his teens, drunk too much in his 20’s and 30’s and now with a newly found passion for fitness, his early life disregard for health combined with his later life fitness fad have given him the voice of a smooth, smouldering hunk and the body of a middle aged man who smoked and drank too much in his early life! Narrating audiobooks has shown Cornell that life in the modern world can be better than good and he has found a peace in telling stories. His daughter and life-partner (children of the 70’s don’t get ‘married’) are very patient and much cleverer than he is.
