Publisher's Synopsis
Once upon a time, there was a king who wanted to be the most powerful man in the kingdom, but his power was outshone by that of a wizard who claimed to predict the future. One day, the king devices a plot to prove that he was lying. He asked the wizard what day he would die, and simultaneously takes his sword and kills him to prove that his answer would be wrong. The king could never imagine that the wizard's answer would force him to care more for the wizard than for his own life.
