About this series
The sequel to The Muffler's Ministry and The Muffler's Mission.
Cronos has been defeated again, but the latent threat remains. The Oracle – AKA The Muffler – is working on a plan for long-term safety but is reluctant to reveal the details.
Rowan and Tia have more pressing concerns. Tia's ever-growing magical ability threatens to kill her unless it stops. Rowan's Dad is missing, spreading unfamiliars across the land, causing chaos in his quest to weaken the Oracle.
Portsea is undergoing its own transformation, transferring direct power from the Ministries to some form of elected leadership, for good or ill. The neighbouring region of Brightgate serves as a reminder of how things can go wrong.
Brightgate's authoritarian leader blames Portsea – Rowan in particular – for the spread of unfamiliars. He seals the border and begins to build up troops nearby. Conflict appears inevitable.
First, Tia must visit Emforth to get a minor marital mess sorted. At least nothing could possibly go wrong there. Could it?

- The Muffler's Ministry: The Mufflers, #1
1
Everyday low-level magic is commonplace, the only thing forbidden is technology. The ruins of the old world serve as a constant reminder of why humanity must never venture down that path again. Rowan Webb is recruited into the secretive Ministry responsible for ensuring technological advancement is suppressed – The Mufflers, who turn out to be a surprisingly friendly and eccentric bunch. Venturing out into the community with a familiar called Pythia, Rowan has every intention of having as good a time as possible while working undercover. For most people, society is fair and comfortable. It seems the perfect opportunity to enjoy life with old flame Tia Tobin. Pythia puts a damper on things by making Rowan document the journey, just in case there's an enquiry later. Then the shadows of the past re-emerge to really ruin the fun – and threaten ultimate destruction. Tia's not happy with Rowan either.
- The Muffler's Mission: The Mufflers, #2

The sequel to The Muffler's Ministry After the Battle of Gooseport, Portsea may never be the same. People call for change, but a more urgent threat emerges to cause the Mufflers to reevaluate their priorities. Of course, Rowan Webb's priority is Tia Tobin, but his Dad accidentally ruins things once more. Rowan can't even find a way to blame Dave Elkington this time. Personal matters have to wait. The lingering dangers from the old world can't be ignored, so the Mufflers head out to prepare their neighbours for the threat. The welcome isn't always a friendly one. Things quickly go awry. Rowan and Tia are set on a collision course again, hurtling towards a showdown with the past. All roads lead to Ringwall, but what lies within that mysterious region?

Mark W White
Mark W White is an author of SF & fantasy tales. After a too-successful career in software management, he reinvented himself as a full-time author. The SF trilogy, The Tamboli Sequence, is based upon an idea twenty-five years in the making, comprising A Vision of Unity, A Division of Order, and A Revision of Reality. In Memory of Chris Parsons is a more personal speculative tale set in a rural England that isn't quite what it seems. The Mufflers tells of a society with low-level, everyday magic, as explored in The Muffler's Ministry, The Muffler's Mission, and The Muffler's Misery. The short story collection, Mutterings of Consequence, unites all these novels into one overarching narrative and is available free via his website markwhitebooks.com. An expanded version of this collection, Substrate Constraints, is available for purchase. His latest, the standalone novel, Two Earths Are Better Than None, is a light-hearted tale of galactic subjugation.
