Things aren't always what they appear to be.
  
  A kingdom is currently in the midst of a civil war. The old King has passed away, and two factions have risen up, each supporting a different potential successor: the king's young son, raised by royalty and prepared for kingship his whole life, or a popular magistrate from the countryside, risen to fame on the backs of the people he governed. 
  
  Bloody fighting has consumed the land. Roads, towns, and even cities aren't entirely safe.
  
  Enter Marek, the young sorcerer with an innate gift for magic. He can create illusions: hallucinations, images, sounds, sights, tastes, even emotions. His whole life, he's dealt with things that weren't real, but were thought to be.  Currently, he wanders aimlessly through the country, driven away from his home by the people he once knew.
  
  Enter Casi, the telepath who crosses paths with Marek in a dusty inn. The two set off on an adventure that will test their limits, and it stretches their minds on the subject of what it truly means to be human.
