Synopsis
The Great War has been fought and a Renshai has been named its Champion. Word spreads that the Western Wizard, one of the Cardinal Wizards created by Odin to balance good and evil, is dead. Shadimar, the Wizard of the East, must find a mortal who can survive the Seven Tasks of Wizardry, or the worlds of gods and mortals will fall. The search draws in the Renshai Colbey and the powers that wish to see him fail.
