Apprenticed to a wandering wizard, Hump grew up on the road, following the coin on whatever quest it took them. He always believed his master was just an ordinary hedge wizard, until the old man suddenly died, and his book of spells bound to Hump’s soul....

The White Flame returns home, friends reunite, and the Infernal Halls await. Hump proved himself in the Dragon Keeper Trials, wielded the winds of earth to vanquish a lich queen, and received answers from a goddess. Yet those answers left him burdened with an even deeper mystery.

With the newly hatched Nishari at his side, it is finally time for Hump to face his fate in Drakalyn, home of the wolf dragons, but to get there he must venture through the Fallen Lands—a realm lost to dungeons and monsters. Only, time is not on his side.

Hump and his companions return to Sheercliff City to find a region plagued by monsters—bad news for most, but for a hedge wizard, it's just good business. With the gorger dead and the bond with his unhatched dragon growing quickly, Hump looked forward to some ordinary adventures....

Hump triumphed over the challenges of Bledsbury Dungeon, but it wasn’t without a cost....

Für Hump ist das alles bloß eine hübsche Geschichte. Als Lehrling eines umherziehenden Magiers ist er damit aufgewachsen, von einer bezahlten Quest zur nächsten zu ziehen.
