My name is Oliver Morris, and I’m a painter. I can use color and shapes and patterns and infuse them with power. And somehow, the Trelking claims I’m destined to kill the Druist Mage. After defeating my old friend Nik, I now have a teacher, but first I have to figure out how to animate him and then I can try to convince him to teach me how to defeat his master. As if that wasn’t impossible enough, the Trelking himself crosses the Threshold and demands that I recover a dangerous shardstone box, one that had been protected by my father. If I don’t, I know what steps the Trelking will take, especially now that he knows about Devan and I. But what can be so important for the Trelking to risk making the crossing? Something else has crossed the Threshold while the Trelking held it open that places the city in incredible danger. Now I have to protect Conlin from magical attack once again. Only this time, I suspect the Trelking is the one attacking the city.
