Fan CastingThe Amory Wars: Year of The Black Rainbow

This chapter in the series focuses on Leonard Hohenberger, a scientist with a specialty in biology and bionics, and his family. His wife, Pearl, is also a scientist with a focus on animal biology. At the beginning of the book, we discover that it is, in fact, Pearl who creates the syringa dragonfly. The book opens with a kind of summary of The Mage War, a long battle between newly appointed Wilhelm Ryan of Sector 6 and his main foil, Covent Marth of Sector 4. Marth has the ability of premonition and immediately calls out Ryan for being scheming and says he will ultimately be the downfall of The Fence. After Ryan's victory and the subsequent death of Leonard and Pearl's son, Joseph, the couple vow get justice for him. A Black Rainbow appears in the sky, and most people are actually pretty happy with Ryan's rule viewing the phenomena as a sign from God.
