The Tales of Reagul is the story of the sorcerer Sarbonn who is chosen by the "gods" to act as their representative and the planet's protector. During the dawn of the Roman Empire, a segment of the population is transplanted onto another planet as part of an alien sociological experiment. This planet, Reagul, develops a new history as its people slowly begin to realize they will never return home again. Sarbonn, gifted with the science of the aliens ("the gods"), discovers they have been abandoned by the aliens, leaving them to forge their own destiny in a lonely corner of the stars. The first book involves their colonization of this new world, their struggles with survival, greed and the realization that they are not alone. Previous civilizations have been transplanted to this planet before them. And Sarbonn discovers he's not the first sorcerer, and that the previous ones may not be all that welcoming to the new inhabitants.
