Sorcerer Rising

Once Virgil McDane was a powerful Wizard, an explorer, scholar, and soldier. One mistake later, he’s cast from the Guild, stripped of his magic, and locked out of his own mind, struggling just to pay his rent. As a Sorcerer, a wild self-taught mage, he takes any job he can get, no matter the risk and no matter who’s asking.

Now, a unique event has provided Virgil the opportunity to change all that. The Arcus (or the Rainbow as it has been nicknamed), has landed just outside his home city. This massive column of magical energy stretches the entire world and people have chased its end for centuries seeking everything from gold to arcane knowledge.

Cyrus Aberland, the millionaire inventor, is one such person and is funding an expedition to seek its end. With a vendetta against the Guild, he comes looking for a Sorcerer who can lead his team.

Now Virgil must guide a group of explorers halfway across the world, protect them and himself against the dangerous arcane threats of the world, and seek to reclaim his power.
