    About this ebook

    Wilom hadn’t expected to be going back.

    Suspected, perhaps, but suspected and expected are two very different things. Just like he suspected that the living world was in turmoil, but he didn’t expect to get so involved in it. He suspected that he’d have trouble finding his feet, but he didn’t expect to be this out of his depth. And he suspected that the ferryman’s apprenticeship had some hidden caveats, but he never expected they’d include – for want of a better word – magic.

    Wilom never got on well with obligations, but for the first time, he’s starting to feel a sense of responsibility. His new housemates would probably respect that, except that if they knew what he was really doing with his time, they’d probably kick him out. His new bosses certainly appreciate it, but Wilom can’t help but feel he’s working around them, not for them. Being treated like an adult is great, but it would be nice to just ignore what people think of him for a while, like the old days.

    Still, at least he’s got Vanda to talk to.

    Author

    Lee Cope

    Lee is an Australian fantasy author and wordsmith-for-hire who likes to procrastinate from writing with more writing.Their writing efforts can be traced either to the terrible Disney ripoff they wrote when they were six, or to the not quite as terrible but equally embarrassing David Eddings ripoff they wrote at fifteen, depending on your definition. They like to think their writing has gotten less terrible with practice, and if not original, then at least it derives from a variety of sources now.They fund their fantasy writing by selling their wordsmithing services as a writer, editor and research assistant in projects both fictional and non. These ventures also fund one of the last DVD collections left in a digital world, a somewhat ill-advised martial arts interest, a modest video game library, and the upkeep of two very affectionate cats.Lee has studied in Canberra, Melbourne and Dublin, all revolving around writing, literary analysis, and some languages and linguistics to round it all out. Their current degree is on hiatus. They would love to keep learning languages in their spare time, but that requires first having some spare time.
