There was only one thing that could stop Venn Rizon and avenge Kal's master. His late master's own magic. To that end, Kal became a Spell Runner; those rare few who dared dabble in the smuggling of spells. With master's last and most powerful spell in hand, Kal embarks upon a seemingly doomed quest to avenge his friend and mentor.
