Synopsis

When his teacher Ansoain is murdered and her son Galimer taken hostage, young magic-user Druhallen and his companions journey into the perilous ruins of Dekanter to find the mysterious Nether Scroll. Not everyone around him is telling the truth, and the scroll itself poses a cruel dilemma: without it Galimer may die, but possessing it could drive Druhallen mad.
