But when he reaches the village of Kallah and starts his apprenticeship, Baz learns that his master is very cruel. And when the master trades Baz to a magician for a sword, Baz expects no better from his new owner. But as Baz travelsÿwith this kind-hearted and wise magician,ÿtheir journey takes him across the desert, up a mountain, and into the depths of life's meaning. Heÿlearns to re-examine his beliefs about people, the world, and himself, discovering that the whole world is connected and no person can ever be owned.
