Mag and Albern are on a mission. In a backwater tavern, a young girl named Sun meets a talespinner named Albern. But Sun already knows him from legends...and now she wants to hear them from him firsthand. Albern tells Sun the tale of his adventures with Mag, possibly the greatest warrior Underrealm has ever seen. Together, the two of them hunted monsters, traitors, and evil wizards across all nine kingdoms. But all the while, Mag walked while shrouded in a secret ... a secret even her best friend would not learn for a long while.
