For his whole life, Thordric has been told that his magic is dangerous, and that he must never use it.
All over Dinia, half-wizards are treated the same, their magic labelled as dangerous and uncontrollable. But when High Wizard Kalljard dies under mysterious circumstances, it falls to young Thordric to solve the case.

But can he learn fast enough, and find the perpetrator in time?
