When Joseph first started talking to a stray bird six months back, he thought nothing could be weirder. Now he discovers he plays a big part in a prophesy and is taken from his home to a bewitched place filled with assassins, warlocks, and numerous magic weavers. The problem is, he doesn't know how he fits in with the prophesy-no one does. Does he kill the Master, the most powerful sorcerer in history, thus ending the war and bringing peace upon commoners and death to warlocks? Or is he the one to overthrown the Master's brother and banish humanity?
