When Artaban stops to heal a man, he's left behind by the three other Magi. After years of helping the distressed, Artaban arrives in Jerusalem just as Jesus is about to be crucified. He's faced with one final dilemma: try to free Jesus or release a girl from captivity. The heartwarming story, told with appropriately formal language, is accompanied by rich, saturated watercolors.
