Every resident of Xanthus is endowed with magical talent. Everyone has different talents - one can turn to stone with a glance, the other - a master of creating illusions, the third is able to return the past moment... Everyone's talent is unique. But woe to that resident of Xanthus, who until the day of adulthood will not show his magical talent, - he is expelled to Ordinary. And the dream of these unfortunate people becomes to return back to Xanth, to the world of miracles.
