What if fate has left you as the chief magician in a land of faded magic, a land besieged by invaders? You feel it is your duty to help -- you want to help -- but your king, a practical old soldier barely hears you. So you strike out on your own to open a portal between worlds and import a band of warriors whose skill and tactics you know can help turn this war around. Is it your fault if the band of American Indians you have chosen turns out to be a little less predictable than you'd hoped? And are you to blame if a detachment of U.S. Cavalry detailed to chase down your warriors is accidentally brought through with them? Maybe you can bring it together -- the king, the Kiowa and the cavalry. Maybe you can help to win a war and to stop a civil war that is boiling around the edges. Or maybe you've made the worst mistake in the history of two worlds.
