"I ask all of you here today to join with me in pledging yourself to a common cause!" said Miphon.
Elkor Alish laughed, harshly: "A common cause? Between wizards and the Rovac? Forget it!"
And yet it had to be. Though Alish never accepted the alliance, his fellow warrior Morgan Hearst joined forces with Miphon and the other wizards. The only alternative was the utter destruction of their world.
