Within Ruin

=Synposis=

When Virgil offers Descarta a chance to journey beyond the ramparts in search of a cure for the blight crippling their realm, she eagerly accepts.

They set out with his elven wards, clingy and erratic creatures, and Descarta comes to discover a world darker and more caustic than she could have imagined—one dominated by mighty magics, beastly foes and great secrets.

The quest before them is rife with hazards both hidden and behemoth. Only by enduring the precipitous path can the royal pair find what they seek.

And learn that even ruin can bring about the deepest of relationships.
