Lerris is given the standard two options: permanent exile from
Recluce or the dangergeld, a complex, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands
 beyond Recluce with the aim of learning how the world works and what
his place in it might be. Many do not survive. He chooses dangergeld.
Though magic is rarely discussed openly in Recluce, it becomes clear,
 when Lerris is sent into intensive training for his quest, that he has a
 natural talent for it during his weapons lessons. And he will need
magic in the lands beyond, where the power of the Chaos Wizards reigns
unchecked. He must learn to use his powers in an orderly way or fall
prey to Chaos.
Lerris may resent order, but he has no difficulty choosing good over
evil. As he begins his lonely journey, he falls into the company of a
gray magician, once of Recluce, who tutors him in the use of magic and
shows him some of the devastation caused by the Chaos Wizards in the
great wars between Chaos and Order of past times.
Lerris pursues a quest for knowledge and power that leads him across
strange lands, through the ghostly ruins of the old capitol of Chaos,
down the white roads of the Chaos Wizards to a final battle with the
archenemy of Order, discovering in the end true control of magic, true
love, and the beginning of true wisdom.
