Where Magic and Mayhem meet Festival will never be the same again. For even as the fighter-mages of the four great Houses prepare for their annual battle in the Arena, a stranger arrives for festival. Who is Garth One-eye, and where did he get his powerful spells? What is his interest in the fifth House, destroyed a generation ago? And why is the Grand Master of the Arena so afraid of what Garth might do? The answer may bring about the fall of the four Houses - or Garth's death.
