Magician Apprentice

Pug and Thomas are two kitchen boys who dream of being heroes one day in the medieval fantasy world of Midkemia. But as the boys start on the path to manhood and begin their apprenticeships to their appropriate masters, they one day stumble upon a strange shipwreck and learn that invaders from a strange and distant world have found a way to invade Madkemia through portals known as 'rifts' and are preparing for a full - scale assult. As the boys take different paths, as Thomas learns to be a soldier and Pug studies the path of a magician, both of them find that their dreams are coming true after all as they grow into heroes, but growing apart as the effects of the Riftwar change both of their lives forever.
