The sword chooses its wielder.I never asked to be Blade Mage. My fellow wizards werent exactly thrilled about my selection, either. Unfortunately, those weird old druids have a strict no returns policy.So I left, and for the past few years, Ive managed to hide from my responsibilities and former life. But I always knew one day the Cabal would come looking for its precious sword. And so they have, but only because a heinous crime has occurred a A wizard of the Cabal has used forbidden magic to slay a fellow wizard. Its an open and shut case. The killer admitted it. He also stands accused of kidnapping a child, who is still missing, but they say that isnt my problem. No, as Blade Mage, the Cabal only expects one thing of me: they expect me to play the role of Executioner.Problem is a the accused is my best friend.And before I chop his head off, or decide to just walk away, I want to know the truth. But the path to the truth is filled with shifty wizards, fearsome witches, insidious demons, and supernatural conspirators at every turn.It aint easy being the Blade Mage.

So, there I was a just minding my own business and having a drink at a local watering hole, when this strange woman approaches me, begging for help.Ive never seen this woman in my life. I have no idea who she is.If shes to be believed, she doesnt know who she is, either. Nor does she know where she came from, or exactly why it is she needs my help.She sure as heck knows who I am, though. She knows that Im the Blade Mage.It only gets weirder.Before I can figure out what to do, the shadows come to life and attack. It isnt me they want, but this strange woman.My every instinct screams that I should run away. But a I am the Blade Mage.Ive no choice but to help, but there are powers after this woman that I am helpless to stand against. It doesnt look like Ill be the Blade Mage for long.
