Magic: The Gathering: Chandra - Trials of Alara

by James Asmus, Erik Koda (Illustrations)

Pyromancer Chandra Nalaar's newest adventure will test her like never before, but she's doesn't have to do it alone, thanks to fellow Planeswalker Jace Beleren!

On the formerly fractured plane of Alara, Chandra and Jace must protect a village in grave peril. But when the dust of battle clears, Chandra will have to choose between moving on to the next adventure or staying to help the survivors recover. What happens when Chandra faces a problem that can't be burned away? Will she be able to shoulder the burden of leadership, or will her impulsive nature get the best of her? With the many threats of Alara's patchwork landscape closing in, she'll have to figure it out fast.
