An epic fantasy of peace and magic unfolds when the mutant wizard Blackwolf, grieving his mother’s death, uncovers ancient military technology.

Wizards Plot Summary

What happens in Wizards from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Earth has been devastated by a nuclear war, and it takes about 2 million years for the radioactive clouds to part enough to admit sunlight again. In this long lull, humanity’s survivors have twisted into mutants, while the true ancestors of myth—trolls, fairies, elves, and dwarves—reappear and reclaim the land they once called Montagar. The tale begins with a miraculous birth: in a trance, Delia, the fairy queen, brings forth twin wizards, the kindhearted Avatar and his evil, mutated brother Blackwolf. After Delia’s death years later, Blackwolf attempts to seize leadership, but Avatar defeats him in a magical duel. Blackwolf then retreats, vowing to return and “make this a planet where mutants rule.”
