Junak Silverhand

Unbridled power corrupts, but what halter can provide a bridle? Magic is not free. It has a price, and the price for difficult magic is rapid aging. Because cold iron short circuits controlled magic, wizards struggle to find a new source of power to compete against the dawning use of steel. Without a new strategy and a new source of power for wizards, the Age of Magic is doomed and the Age of Iron will ascend.When Junak the Hunter attempts to save his wife from marauding slavers, an explosion of wild magic burns away his right hand. With the aid of a wizard recently released from an imprisoning stasis, Junak's hand regenerates, but not to its original condition. Instead, the hand acquires a quicksilver sheen, and magical power flows from that hand into any steel weapon Junak wields. Magic was never able to bend iron to its will before. Can Junak's new ability allow him to rescue his family or simply make him a wizard's wildcard tool to topple a kingdom?
