When his father was killed at sea, Tobas had been lucky to find a wizard to take him on a apprentice. But the wwizard had died of old age, after teaching Tobas only eht elementary spell for starting a fire. AndTobas' efforts to open the Book of Spells used be the wazard had resulted in a fire that consumed the hut and all its contents. Tobas was left with noting, already too old to seek other apprenticeship. Across the sea, in a faraway Old Ethshar, there were dragons to be slain, princesses and gold to be won, magic castles, and witches who know the secret of immotality. But those were prizes to which no wizard with a single, simple spell could aspire....Tobas gathered his aspiration to his empty stomach and set out to find a rowboat.
