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.

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.

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