Hunter Hardcutt has a problem. His illustrious adventuring career has died on the vine. Turns out tracking his missing mother leads to waiting tables, not great renown or untold riches.
Thankfully, the perfect job just arrived in the form of a nervous scholar named Embergleam. He needs a bodyguard to protect him on his way back to the Arcane Institute. What could be simpler than walking an academic back home?
Not much, unless said academic’s latest find details a notorious necromantic ritual. Many wizards and casters would pay handsomely for such a rare spell, or steal it outright. Or worse.
As Hunter and Embergleam elude their foes, Hunter must face the wickedness of the real adventuring world beyond fantastic childhood stories if he’s to make his own mark.
For fans of The Witcher, The Blacktongue Thief, and Dungeons & Dragons, this character-driven fantasy adventure will introduce you to a whole new world!
