Growing Disenchantments

Just when he'd been looking forward to another quiet night delving into mind-bending arcane lore and mentally wrestling with the deepest magicks, along came this mysterious thief to disturb him.  Why was it nothing in Ragonnard's life ever went to plan?

Rather than turn her in to the law (or into something else), the young sorcerer offers Ganfrey a deal – steal a portrait from the palace for him. 

But it's no ordinary portrait.  For 500 years it's been a magical prison for Syranax, the most powerful sorcerer in history.  His enchanted Amulet was entombed with him, and Ragonnard wants it.  More than anything.

In releasing the Amulet, Ragonnard unleashes a devastating sequence of sorcerous events, the like of which has not been seen for hundreds of years.  And, no, things definitely don't go to plan.

Ned Merrivel is a time traveller from the future.  His job is to sort it out when it all goes wrong and save the world somehow.  If only he can find a pair of trousers first.
