Lani didn't want to be a dying man's last hope.

When she stumbles onto Ashantha bleeding out in a cave outside of town, he begs her to protect the jewel that cost him his life — changing everything.

Did she find him by accident or were unseen forces at play?

Unwittingly bound to a secret society of Jesters and hunted by Derk assassins, Lani discovers the jewel is an ancient amulet — its secret sealed behind a crumbling magical barrier that should have protected the world forever.

What begins as a simple search for answers quickly becomes a deadly pursuit across Dharatan. To survive, Lani must reach the only person Ashantha said could be trusted.

If the amulet falls into the wrong hands, the cost won't just be her life.

It will be the end of the world as they know it.
