The laws of the five magics were being set aside. If the world was to be saved it was up to Jason, the wordsmith. But what was he to do? He had writer's block and suffered from agoraphobia. He was not a hero for the sagas.
Without quite knowing how he was doing it, time and again, Jason, aided by the slave girl, Delia, thwarted a mysterious wizard from somewhere else—a kingdom farther away than anyone could even imagine existed. Finally, as total mayhem ensues, the wordsmith discovers secret wisdom that explains the truly fundamental laws upon which every other one is based.
The second volume in the Magic by the Numbers series. Can be read without reading the first novel first.
