Each year the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants urchins & miscreants Masters of the disciplines of magic they know that no one can oppose them But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe Sonea angry frustrated & outraged by the treatment of her family & friends hurls a stone at the shield putting all her rage behind it To the amazement of all who bear witness the stone passes unhindered through the barrier & renders a magician unconscious The guild's worst fear has been realised There is an untrained magician loose on the streets She must be found before her uncontrolled powers unleash forces that will destroy both her & the city that is her home
