Return of the Unbound Mage

Miles has one obsession in life: magic. He lives it, breathes it, and dedicates every waking hour to it. But the same obsession wears down his body. He needs to recover. At the peak of his power, he finally chooses to take his rest in the form of artifact-enhanced sleep. He plans his rest to last months, no longer. It extends to centuries.  Miles wakes to an entirely new world: one where magic has become structured and rigid, where mages have given up future potential for something called an interface—an easier, safer path for novices. Mages who once leveled swathes of land and served as the keystones of empires no longer exist. The magic Miles knows has slid into legend. Someone wants to weaken the world, and they have succeeded. Miles, however, still lives. He can do everything this new era calls a myth—and much, much more.
