To the princes of Maggiar, over-mountain was a land they knew only from gran's stories, but now the wizard Karoly announced that he must make the journey there to seek advice from his witch-sister. For things hadn't been right in Maggiar this last season, not right at all. The princes Tamas and Bogdan were to go with Karoly, along with the huntsman Nikolai.
