"Almost thirty years ago, a female wizard of the covenant bore a son and named him Andros.

But then, quite suddenly, the youth acquired a great fear of magic, and soon thereafter ran away. Today the name of Andros is again spoken at the covenant, when a mysterious message arrives from Byzantium. The letter reports that Andros lives as the slave of one Farad Sahda, 'The Old Physician,' a conjurer of the Black Sea. The letter's writer enjoins the covenant to rescue its offspring - who, with his master, will soon be in Constantinople.
