Acclaimed bestselling author L. E. Modesitt, Jr. continues his saga of Recluce in Mage-Guard of Hamor.  This is the second, after Natural Ordermage, of two volumes set mostly on the continent of Hamor, far across the sea from Recluce, where the saga began.  

As young apprentice on the island of Recluce, Rahl was sent to the mages training school for testing before he was banished to Hamor.  Now, Rahl is a powerful mage and still just as dangerous to himself and to others.  His education continues, but Rahl soon finds that as his powers have increased, so has the amount of trouble he attracts.
