A rogue, a mage, and a monk walk into a tavern. What could possibly go wrong? Ignited by a disturbance in the night and a bumbling stranger, the exiled master rogue Dagorat plunges into a perilous quest. Along with his witty friend Cyril the Wise, and the hopelessly naive Brother Liberon, he sets off to retrieve a holy relic stolen by the dark mages of the Golgent. Together, they brave the journey from the great city of Mentiria across the continent of Tyrennia to Dagorat’s former home of Easterly, where discovery means certain execution. At times astonished by his friends’ skills – and other times dumbfounded by their amateur antics – Dagorat uncovers hard truths about his past, and finds new hopes for his future. But the rising threat of war means his hopes tremble on a razor’s edge. Can he ever find his way out of the shadows and into the light?
