After decades of retirement, Archmage Aldric is coaxed back to teach at the Academy he built by his daughter, Sherry. Though reluctant at first, he finds himself rediscovering the joy of teaching. But just as he begins to feel at home again, disaster strikes. An unknown force attacks the Academy, leaving it in ruins while he is away. Heartbroken, he turns to his greatest secret: an experimental spell to bend time itself. With nothing left to lose, he casts the spell, flinging himself into the past. But rewriting fate isn’t as simple as it seems—will he be able to outwit the mysterious forces that threaten everything he holds dear, or will time itself prove to be his greatest enemy?
