Before the War of the Lance, magic faced and fought its own demise.
The
Journeyman is charged to use the ancient Anvil of Time to travel back
along the river of time and find the lost stories that fell between the
pages of the history books.
He finds Tythonnia, a young red
robe learning magic in company with Ladonna of the black robes and
Par-Salian of the white. The three are sent on an easy quest to find
the leader of the renegade wizards, a man named Berthal, but if it was
that simple, they wouldn't need mages. Instead, what started out easy
turns into betrayal – magic against sorcery, the wizards against each
other, and Tythonnia against herself. When Berthal finally unleashes
his final attack, everyone knows that it won't end that simply.
