Description
Alodar was a mere journeyman thaumaturge learning the least of the five arts of magic. As such, he had no right to aspire to the hand of the fair lady, Queen Vendora, but aspire he did.
Alodar's quest is not only a stirring tale of adventure, but also one of the most logical detailings of the laws of magic ever to appear in fantasy.
"One of the most logical detailing of the laws of magic ever to appear in fantsay" -- Lester del Rey
