Metamancer: (n) One talented in Metamancy, the magic of detecting, altering, canceling, and manipulating magic itself.

To escape political intrigue in the capital, Sir Jared and Mage Madeline D'Abrac settled in a remote barony on the outskirts of the kingdom. Soon after, a baby in a basket appeared on their doorstep under mysterious circumstances. Fearing a connection to dark and powerful magic, they endeavor to raise him into a non-magical life as a warrior.

Despite a promising start in the local guard, Johnny D'Abrac's career is derailed by tragedy, subterfuge and an awareness that the war against the elves is unjust. After his talent for magic is discovered, he must navigate a complex and dangerous world of magic, where enemies may seem fair, and allies may be fearsome and secretive.

It doesn't help that he turns out to have the most feared talent of all, Metamancy, the magic of altering magic itself.
