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

Based on the popular Magic: The Gathering (TM) trading card game.
