Publisher's Synopsis
A dilapidated estate, a cute water mage, a witty kitsune, and a treasure worth risking your life for.
Julian never thought that graduating from the Ironfist Academy would be the easy part. He returns to his ancestral manor and is greeted by crumbling walls, growing debts, and a father who's conveniently disappeared. To top it all off, someone is intent on making his new role as lord of the estate as difficult as possible.
Armed with magic and a purpose, Julian must juggle the ancient art of estate management. Luckily, he's not alone. Julian's joined by an old sweetheart, who happens to be a bashful water mage with immense power and a kitsune archer with a sharp tongue that's only matched by her deadly aim. With both ladies at his side, there are whispers of a new Arcane Lord. To save the estate financial issues, they hunt for a treasure that everyone seems to want, but no one can find.
As they unravel the mysteries piling up faster than his father's unpaid bills, Julian learns that being a lord might just be the ultimate adventure, especially when your allies are as magical and wondrous as your enemies are menacing.
