Pug is a small orphan boy living in the castle keep of Crydee. One of the most important parts of a boy's life was almost upon him. He would be chosen by one of the craft masters to become an apprentice. On that special day all the boys were called except Pug! Right when all looked dim, Kulgan, the master magician at Crydee, came and called on Pug. That was close. Pug begins as a magician's apprentice. One year later he saves the princess from a pair of trolls and earns her love and her father's favor. Not long after Pug's brave feat an alien ship appears on the shore. There is only one survivor from the wreck. Using magical methods he learns that the ship came from another world. So Pug and Kulgan set out on a journey with the Duke of Crydee to bring word of the aliens to the king. They are almost utterly ignored by the king. But instead of going home, they go to where they believe the aliens may have arrived and fear there may be a war. Even his best friend Tomas is having trouble. Tomas had gotten lost in the mines during the journey to the king. Pug, not knowing if his friend lives, is captured by the aliens during a raid of the alien's camp. What will be the results from a war with the aliens when the fate of Pug and Tomas is unknown, and their entire country has been turned upside-down? Find out in Magician.
