After spending the winter in Relin-Kahl, the master and his apprentices continue their journey to the Marcamian city of Airoward. There, they learn of an organization that's halfway between a school of magic and a church. These espers, as they call themselves, possess powerful abilities, but is it really a gift from their deity or is there a dark secret behind it all? To unravel the mysteries of Airoward, the apprentices will have to employ all the skills they've learned in a true test of spirit. NOTE: This story is part of a series.
