To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug
came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage
won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, he was ill
at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. Yet Pug's strange sort of
magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark
beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime
to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

vivid imagination." -- "The Washington Post Book World." "Most exciting
