The Gift of Colors, if it is true and deep, is far more than art. It is the ability to pass from one realm of reality to another, to travel from world to world no matter how great the distance, with only the effort of a thought. In Quest for Evil: The Magic of the Key, artist Nigel Nessel flees a sudden thunderstorm into the extraordinary landscape of Atla. Armed only with his oil paints, Nigel joins easy-going Padwick and the intimidating Breegan on an exciting, often humorous journey to worlds unknown.
Magic abounds and Nigel must learn to wield it if he is to survive the mission for which he has been chosen: to help defeat the ultimate Dark Magic.
