North World really isn't that different from our own... the biggest difference is the presence of mythical monsters, talking bears, arcane arts, and, of course, the heroes who stand ready to defend the innocent and helpless from these extraordinary threats! Conrad is one such hero and he's about to experience something scarier than any of the mighty beasts he's faced down—his ex-girlfriend's wedding!

Conrad's given up his life of action and adventure and become an accountant—and in the middle of a quest no, less! But can our intrepid hero truly leave his days of swords and battle behind him or will he finish the job the guild sent him to his hometown to complete? It's a clash of family loyalty and heroic destiny for the star of this first North World story!
