As a descendant of the eradicated elves, Varys Wynhart never imagined he would witness their incredible magic, nor that it would suddenly awaken within him. Both a scholar and a librarian, he devotes himself to researching what has caused the ReEmergence of Magic, and why the rest of Xalador seems oblivious to it.

And she is a puzzle he is more than willing to solve.

Sae r t lsta xera...
