About the Book

As the enemy escalates, it’s time for Alex to free himself of his limitations once and for all.

The Mark of the Fool.

A ‘gift’ from Uldar that enhances the bearer’s ability to learn any skill, but—in return—one cannot practise magic, engage in combat or use divinity at all. Alex Roth, the latest Fool, has found ways around his limitations.

Now, however, he has hit a wall.

To master the most powerful spells, Alex discovers that the Mark can no longer be worked around. It must be removed…or transformed. Luckily, The Fool of The Traveller’s cycle had laid down the groundwork to transform the Mark of the Fool, but her notes and equipment are hidden away in her sanctum somewhere in the far north.

If Alex wants to be truly free, he must find it.

And time is running out.

The Ravener continues to escalate and the hidden church hunts him relentlessly.

Will he transform the Mark in time and unleash his true potential or will his enemies find him first? In either case, their confrontation will be a mighty reckoning.
