Magic's Pawn is a wondrous sci-fi fantasy adventure that centers around Vanyel Ashkevron, young, inexperienced in life, and very sheltered from the world at large. Clashes with his father send him away from home to discover just who and what he truly is--the last Herald Mage of Valdemar for centuries to come.
