The continent of Solidarâonce Lydarâis home to a strange and rare breed of magic user. Imagers can bring into being almost anything they can imagineâ¦but their power is dangerous to themselves as well as to others, and their life expectancy is short.

Some are exploited by ordinary people with political and economic powerâ¦while others are wise enough to build a future when their powers may put to the service of the common good.
