Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series: Into the Labyrinth and Jewel of the Endless Erg. Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively.

Victor can’t wait to get the hell out of high school, go to the local community college on a sports scholarship, and start his own life. But that’s all put on hold when he enters his abuela’s house and somehow ends up stepping into a world unlike anything he’s ever known, filled with fantastical meta-humans; walking, talking devils; and other creatures one usually needs some serious pharmaceuticals to see. Fanwath is no dream, though. In fact, it’s a nightmare.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Come se non bastasse, è addirittura riuscito a inimicarsi lo studente più promettente del suo anno, che si dà il caso sia anche il nipote di un re.

Eppure, quando viene scelto da un mago particolarmente eccentrico, la sua vita cambia per il meglio. Non gli resta che superare l'esame finale delle matricole: una spedizione nel terrificante labirinto sotto Skyhold.

I Pulldogs lasciano Roma per abbracciare una nuova condizione umana: senza lasciare traccia del loro passaggio, attraversano luoghi meravigliosi e intere nazioni, girovagando per il mondo come neo-nomadi, diffondendo la loro esistenza "transumante" oppure impegnandosi nella conservazione di culture in via d'estinzione minacciate dal cambiamento climatico globale.

È il terzo anno del Fimbulwinter, il lungo e gelido inverno che precede la fine dei Nove Mondi. Midgard giace addormentata sotto una spessa coltre di ghiaccio e neve. Le città degli uomini sono cadute o allo sbando, assalite da branchi di lupi famelici e predoni assetati di sangue. Dèi, troll e giganti affilano le armi e preparano gli incantesimi per l'ultima battaglia tra Ordine e Caos. Ovunque fremono gli ultimi preparativi per il Ragnarök, soltanto nel Valhalla aleggia uno strano silenzio...

He met with kings and gods, fought interdimensional cults, and got in a knife fight with the guy who creates universes. He didn't win.
