An alternate history. With fantasy spicing the mix.

A battle won. A Duke victorious. History changed with one missed deadly blow.

Three hundred years after winning the decisive Battle of Nancy, the royal house of Charles the Bold had turned a dukedom into an Empire.

That's the world of Master Professor Lucius Henry. High Mage of the Order of the Sacrum Abies. Summus Magister. High Professor-at-Large of the Imperial University of Learning, the elite institution of higher magical education in the Empire of Burgundy.

Magical knowledge had flourished and evolved for more than three hundred years. A tool, for better or for worse. And now it is the cornerstone of civilizations, empires, kingdoms, and mankind's very way of life.

But something is wrong.

*************************

This series is a sequence of adventures of our unperturbable professor with the slightly stiff upper-lip and his assistant.

Each story will be complete by itself. Language will be a bit archaic due to the milieu.

Thanks.
