A PERILOUS WORLD...

Aldair has trembled on the brink of catastrophe for an age. Now a reckoning draws near. Decadent and divided human kingdoms do not see it, focused on their petty rivalries. Only one King, lord of a dying nation, warns of it, but none heed him.

And the Fey, the prideful elven nations of the south, see only advantage in catastrophe. The rise of a blood cult in their midst doesn't give them pause. The mania of a new monarch and his war-mongering only emboldens their vengeful, greedy impulses.

These misguided peoples will collide in a war of darkest magic and fearsome new technologies. And none will suffer more than the innocent.

A SINGLE SHIP...

But some want to slow the rush to annihilation. Some want to preserve the light. And this starts with sending help to an ancient city, besieged by fire and shadow and murderous lunacy. And this help comes aboard the unlikeliest of vessels, a notorious pirate ship, captained by a man condemned by the Church, crewed by criminals and witches and some who are not even human.

THE WITCH OF VENDAR.
