You must be thinking how wonderful it would be to awaken Magic at some point in your life.

You must believe it would be a blessing. You would be able to become famous and rich with the flick of your finger.

It is no blessing, it is not wonderful. If you awaken magic you will probably spend most of your life trapped within a secret facility, getting your blood drained and bone marrow taken. Until you are too sick to be able to produce decent blood. Then you'll be dissected and used for materials.

The other option is to run. Run and keep running for the rest of your life, staying one step ahead from those trying to catch you. Forever wishing for a normal life.

Roland's tale isn't a happy one. Sure there are good moments, good days, and sometimes even good months, but overall it is a terrible tale to tell.

This tale is one about a man on the run. Yet it is also one about a man trying to overcome all odds, trying to find security, attempting to latch onto the sliver of hope visible before his very eyes.

This is a tale with countless setbacks. People will die, cities fall, ideologies rise. Follow Roland on what would, at first, appear to be a journey to greatness.
