    • MAGIC'S DEADLY EDGE The stronghold called Home was prospering, and karl's dream of bringing freedom to everyone in this land peopled by wizards and warriors, lords and slaves, dwarfs and elves and dragons was at last coming true. But by attacking slaver caravans, by offering Home as a haven to any eager to throw off their chains, Karl, Andrea, Ahira, and their comrades had made many powerful enemies. Led by the evil Ahrmin, the Slaver Guild was stirring the kingdoms into a bloody war in which Karl and his friends might soon have to choose sides. And the elfin kingdom of Therranj claimed Karl's valley sanctuary as part of its own territory and was demanding both tribute and loyalty from the people of Home.

    • Sie dachten, es sei nur ein Fantasy-Spiel -- eines jener Spiele. bei dem jeder seine winzige Figur als Krieger, Zauberer oder Zwerg durch das Labyrinth eines Spielmeisters führt und einen Abend lang träumen darf, ein Held zu sein. Aber dann fanden sie sich auf einer windumtosten Ebene wieder, und aus Phantasie war Wirklichkeit geworden. Zuerst machte es ihnen gewaltigen Spaß. Als der erste von ihnen sterben mußte, merkten sie endlich, daß es kein Spiel mehr war.

    • Als ein Spiel hatte alles begonnen, in einem Studentenheim in Amerika. Nun waren sie gestrandet in einer fremden Welt - als Krieger, Zauberin, Zwerg, Dieb und Baumeister - und waren sich darüber klar, dass es keine Rückkehr mehr gab. Doch sie hatten ein Ziel vor Augen: diesem unglaublichen Reich der Phantasie die Freiheit zu bringen. Von der Magiergilde verfolgt, von den Sklavenjägern gehetzt, kämpften sie für eine Welt, die nicht ihre eigene war und wo ein Schwertstreich töten und ein falscher Zauber Freund in Feind verwandeln konnte.
