Lord of the Freeborn — Ron Collins

Torean treachery.
A planewalker's fury.
A city under siege.

Garrick wants to bring purpose to his Freeborn mages so he can use them to protect the plane from the whims of the god-like planewalkers. After the city of Dorfort evicts the Freeborn, however, his first task is to find them a new home. The Freeborn are a flighty collection, though, filled with fiercely independent and opinionated members as well as those who are not above treachery to get their way. Unknown to Garrick, a renegade Koradictine mage who has her own ties to the planewalkers is making her last-gasp effort to remain in power. And this time Garrick himself is the target.

When the Koradictine arrives in Dorfort she unleashes an evening of terror the city has never before seen.

In Lord of the Freeborn, Garrick must fight for the survival of his order, fight for his friends, and fight to save himself. Does he have what it takes to survive a planewalker's full fury? Can he save Adruin from annihilation? Will he live to face the truth of his full destiny?
