Arran had a sheltered life among the witches of the Citadel, until an incident with the witch seer exiled him out into the world on his own. With the help of a traveling minstrel, he learned to fend for himself against forces bent on taking the status of Blue Mage away from him. When he meets and falls in love with a woman named Teoni, everything changes. She seems as smitten with him as he is with her, but there's one problem: It turns out she is the Green Mage, his supposed mortal enemy. Arran must look past the manipulation of the gods and form his own path to victory in the Tournament of Mages.
