QUEST, BOOK ONE: ORIS

A girl with a black cloak and green eyes pursues the High King’s enemies through the shadows of the nine kingdoms. An alchemist plots with the Dean of the Academy. A wanderer roams the western lands, hunting monsters that prey upon the weak. And from the city of Wellmont, two sellswords flee east, pursued by a memory they cannot understand. The threads of coming war have begun to twist together at last. In strongholds and palaces, all counsel turns south, following the course of this pair of weary travelers who cannot yet comprehend the doom falling upon their head. Warriors in grey and blue seek to hunt them down. Knights in red cloaks wish to control them. But the answer to their fate, and the fate of Underrealm, is the answer to one question: What happened at Wellmont?
