Return of the Runebound Professor 9

Father has the Long Night.

And, somehow, Father isn’t even Noah’s only problem. Noah had initially been quite busy turning the noble houses of Arbalest against each other by making up a fake story about people trying to steal the weapons sealed within the Bastions. That story, thanks to Father, unfortunately turned out to be quite accurate.

But, not to be outdone, the crazed demon cult of Truthseekers have ever-so-graciously decided to insert themselves into the mess by going after Noah’s students—and that isn’t an insult that he’s willing to let slide.

Noah’s enemies march closer from all sides. But even as he rapidly becomes one of the most powerful mages in Arbalest… all his new power might not be enough to face off against some of the oldest and most dangerous enemies that the empire has ever seen.

Death lurks around every corner.

But Noah has faced death before a thousand times, and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t find a way to win this time around as well…

Even if he has to leave a few hundred of his own bodies in his wake.
