When Laurel Windswift enters an apprenticeship under her uncle, the great wizard Lord Redmantyl, she sees only the delights that her magic can bring. But her desire for more knowledge brings her too soon into the dark secrets that all magicians of power share, and forces her to take up a wizard's duties of night vigils against monstrous and inhuman forces before she is ready. When Laurel returns to her home city to investigate a small magical anomaly for her uncle, this maiden of light meets a child of darkness, and must undertake a task too terrible to perform. On an alternate earth filled with wonder and danger, the wizard's niece must make a decision that will affect the rest of her life. As she struggles with the unbearable obligations of a magician, she also faces the ostracism of the merchant families who cast her out as a child, her aunt's matchmaking efforts, and finding an unexpected love.

Storylandia, Issue 5: The glass wall stretched for miles, a perfect plane. A man, covered in dirt from his journey, stood stricken, staring into its surface. “Negative Man,” by Theresa Hinkle Mr. BubbleHead considered distance and velocity and time to be subsets of Fate and all of it could victimize the pedestrian, either perfect in their A.D.D. spaces or luckless as grapefruits. “The Bubblehead Chronicles,” by Kyle Hemmings Carole Linnaeker stood in line at the bank for six minutes, then watched the next free teller beckon the person standing behind her to his window. Carole feebly raised a hand. "Um...I was next." The teller’s forehead creased under his gelled hair. "I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there." “See you there,” by Paullette Gaudet Upon wakening, it is quite customary for the dream to leave one befuddled; some confusion whilst realities adjust accordingly, and find their respective corners. “Usher,” by Jon Michael Emory Brodie Stevens lived a life composed around two central themes, drinking and writing. These were the only things he did well but presently he found himself between lines and inspiration. “Snake Oil,” by William Akin</p>
