The enchanted continent of Aveldan is one of faith and magic - and it is gripped by war. Humankind clashes with the dark hobgoblins of the Shadowsteppe, with the castle-town of Dreamford matching their tricks with the raw power of magic and the holy city of Myrellia summoning the powers of their goddess to smite them. The mysterious fae creatures of Yggdramor watch the carnage from afar, while the dwarves of the Roaring Mount lay dormant within their fiery domain. All are unaware of the terror to befall their world and the figures working within the shadows to aid its arrival.

As more of the truth is uncovered, Quora's search becomes obsessive and challenging - the author who penned the texts realized the danger of his work and scattered it across Aveldan to places humankind dare not tread. Will Quora's draconic might be enough to see her plans through?…What could happen to Aveldan if it is?
