After saving the world, reluctant sorcerer Thomas Quinn just wants a quiet life running his shop in Philadelphia, but with a tribunal looming and his knack for trouble still intact, he may find himself pulled back into a battle for humanity once again.

Thomas Quinn, Reluctant Sorcerer of the Arcanum

What's the reward for a job well done? For the Roman general Belisarius, it was a trial and conviction. Thomas Quinn, sorcerer, after having just saved the world this side of the veil, is hoping for a gentler fate from the tribunal called to pass judgment on him. But after centuries of putting his life on the line for humanity, he just doesn't have a lot of patience with protocol.

In fact, he's never been known for tact or subtlety, and one of these days that may get him trouble. Again. For the time being, the reward for doing his job? It's back to Philadelphia, back to his little shop of esoteric goods—and back to the range, just in case he's needed to save the world one more time.
