A small black sphere contains all the magic that exists past, present, and future. Without it, two worlds would not survive. The sphere has been protected for centuries by a spell that was believed unbreakable. Asa Stonethrow, a common man in the world of magic, discovers the spell has been breached and a small chip of the black sphere has been stolen!
I liked the general idea, but felt that the issue was a bit hurried in trying to set everything up. Also, I didn't like how the art changed halfway through the book. I'll keep it on my pull list to see how the story develops and see if the writing improves some.
