To escape, he will seek out the magic spiral, the light in the darkness, and harness the powers it contains, but only if he can control the Spell Burn it brings. This novelette in the World of Espar fills in the mystery behind some of Espar's greatest heros, showing the child they were before their world was turned upsidedown.
