    About this ebook

    The prisoner, it is rumoured, is a wizard from the town of Kisa. The word spreads as he approaches the fatal platform, ready to deliver his last words.

    “So long, ladies and gentlemen!" booms his unnerved voice "and as I said before, the dead shall rise again!”

    Stood before his kinsmen, the prisoner continues wearing a grin- a wide grin that stretches from ear to ear, as the executioner plunges a spear into his heart. Prisoner A237X falls to the ground- but not for long.
