Story
When Minalan the Spellmonger was exiled from his beloved mageland of Sevendor by Prince Tavard, his friend Duke Anguin made him Count Palatine of the Magelaw, a vast realm in the Alshari Wilderlands that Minalan is all too familiar with. After the goblin invasion, the province is devastated, ruined, and peopled almost only by freed slaves. But Minalan has brought his recovering wife and family into exile with him, and he views their impoverished fief as an opportunity to build a new City of Magi in the wilderness.

Story
After winning two wars against the Nemovorti, Minalan plans an expedition to The Lost Valley of Anghysbel, in the far north of his realm. It's there, in the caldera of a supervolcano at the edge of the tundra, he suspects many of the answers he so desperately needs might be hidden. The only problem is that thanks to the anti-magical properties of the jevolar, his spells won’t work; he’ll be without magic for the first time since he came into his Talent.

Story
It is said by some that the Spellmonger’s exile to the Magelaw left Sevendor, the City of Magic, unprotected in his absence. That would be untrue, for though the mightiest mage of the era was forced by law and custom to refrain from visiting his realm in Castal, he left behind a significant body of learned and dedicated colleagues to continue his policies and see to the protection of the magelands. These were not all warmagi, nor even High Magi; indeed, the strength of Sevendor depended on magi of all types and descriptions.

What does the most powerful wizard in the world do after the war? Despite the hordes of goblins still ready to ravage human lands, King Rard has signed a treaty with them, so Minalan is forbidden from taking advantage of their weak state. Most would take a well-deserved rest over the summer…but Minalan and his household are busy repaying a favor owed to the tribal Kasari for their help in the war, and the Spellmonger pays his debts. So Minalan spends his summer sneaking 2,000 Kasari children through enemy lines and some of the roughest territory in the Five Duchies toward salvation.

When the Magelord Minalan the Spellmonger’s two apprentices, Tyndal and Rondal, were knighted after the battle of Timberwatch, they were dubbed Knights Magi: A new class of nobility for distinguished High Magi. Designed to combine the pursuit of arcane knowledge with the noble aspirations of chivalry, it elevated them above common warmage...in theory. The problem was they had no idea how to be a Knight Mage...because no one had ever been one before.

Minalan gets medieval! When you defeat the invading goblin army, get knighted on the field of battle, gifted with lands and gold, usually your happily-ever-after is...happy. But now that Minalan the Spellmonger has been ennobled and enfiefed, Sire Minalan has a task cut out for him that makes defeating goblins seem like child’s play: Moving his very pregnant bride and a few thousand refugees from Boval Vale into the remote, sparsely peopled Domain of Sevendor. But when he arrives, he finds the land withered from neglect, filled with superstition and suspicion.

But those seven bottles of mead were more than just a folk blessing. As Lord Minalan the Spellmonger began his honeymoon on a decadent river barge with his very pregnant bride, he had no idea that the occasion would have anything more complicated than eating, drinking, and making love on the agenda. But a frantic message from one of the Tree Folk indicating he and Alya may be in danger compels him to skip the lazy repose and travel to a far away ruin to speak with a possibly crazy Alka Alon mage - Lilastien, the Sorceress of Sartha Wood.

Now a student at Wurthaven, Will is confronted with the truth of the present. The powerful magic embodied by wizards like his grandfather is but a distant memory. Though the practice of the current day is timid and uninspired, Will needs the knowledge that’s preserved and managed by the college. At every turn he finds that sorcery is supreme, while wizards are trained merely to assist and support those who hold the real power - a power based on an evil so deep that few who are living know the truth of its foundation.

Publisher's Summary
A belligerent springtide!
Being the most powerful wizard in the world can be a challenge....
After defending his fledgling realm against the undead lord Gaja Katar all winter long, Count Minalan of the Magelaw faces a new threat in the spring: the Nemovort Shakathet, favored of Korbal, leading the mighty hordes out of the Penumbra. This time, Minalan faces a real strategist; one who drives his armies with purpose and efficiency. The road to war leads through Megelin Castle and the vulnerable lands to the south of Vanado. Old enemies will become allies, and old friends will become valuable assets.
War, however, is not what is preoccupying Minalan; the knowledge of the end of the world is. As he broods on existential issues and debates with various goddesses and Alka Alon about Calidore’s fate, he must overcome his own fears and anxieties and impose order on the situation before everything goes into the chamber pot.
The solution? Hire an Arcanist, a specialist in the obscure and trivial, to organize and investigate the many matters Minalan has to manage and bring them to order.

Editor needs some assistance
This series has enjoyable character interactions, good character growth, and is quite the addictive and intriguing story, but there are errors in this series that start to come more in the later books. while this book didn't really mix up the names of personal tools and weapons as some have, this book has a chapter (or at least segment) out of order. One god is mentioned, who we haven't met yet, and had an event occur with her, then a thief shows up with no mention before hand. In the following chapters the main character then meets the god for the first time, and then asks a vassal to bring him a thief. I do love this series, but I feel like another editor to assist in the work would help immensely.

Plot progression is crawling but still great
Like many epic fantasies the plot progression has slowed to a crawl in many ways as the world expands and threats are not fully resolved while new threats and plots get added to the pile. That said I'll happily read next story so as long as you can deal with that its another safe bet

A season of war and cattle
This book is an in-depth telling of a single war. It is more narrowly focused and descriptive than previous but is definitely a Spellmonger book. (There's humor, goblin-squashing aplenty and even an F-bomb). This book has a darker tone and sense of foreboding. The computer Forseti, the Alka Alon, Prince Tavard, who is the more dangerous enemy and can anyone or anything be trusted? What of the only choice is to work with those who might betray you? The plot moves forward the world building and narrative, revealing secret histories that we have previously guessed at. Storylines that took several books to build up to are cleanly and sometimes hilariously wrapped up. Caswallen the Fox is back and vainglorious as ever, and a joy to behold as even more goblins are reduced to a fine, red mist.

Just can't get enough!
I had forgotten I pre-ordered this one, so was delighted to receive the notification that it was available. Immediately I was drawn back into the Spellmonger's world, full of memorable characters and compelling storylines. As usual, the narration is excellent, with Lee's voice now as comforting as that of an old friend.
My only complaint at the time of writing this review is that I now need to again wait for the next installment!

Amazing depth, occasionally long winded
One of the best series to be hooked into. Great depth of character, an understandable and gradual introduction to the world created produced many delightful tales. Arcanist is a great addition to the saga.
A reader may begin to wonder is there an end to this tale?
