Magic: The Gathering: Chandra - Trials of Alara #1

by James Asmus

Chandra Nalaar—Planeswalker, pyromancer, hero—bursts into a brand-new miniseries! On the formerly fractured plane of Alara, Chandra must protect a village in grave peril—no big deal, especially with a little help from fellow Planeswalker Jace Beleren. But what happens when the dust of battle clears, and Chandra is forced to contend with a problem that can’t be burned away?
