A man whose heart is searching for its own dreams, he is intrigued by Lee's ravings about Bridges and Landscapes and wizards.

As Danyal, Lee, and Zhahar work together to uncover the danger threatening Vision, they will be forced to look bith beyond and within themselves to discover who they are... and how dangerous they can be.
