A motley band of adventurers. A king coronated with a bloody crown. And the blue winged beast that may be the key to saving Azimar. The search for the Amulets of Power has finally begun. Ajax, now traveling under the name of Roland, wants nothing more than to begin the quest he was first given years ago. His nephews, Alastor and Jaimes, wish only to experience one small adventure before returning to their hometown. Together with an elf without a home, a dwarf cursed to carry his ancestor's shame, and a pair of Vyrisian twins, they must solve the mystery of the Amulets of Power before Commander Ferrand hunts them down. For Mothlenor is still searching for ways to seal his legacy, and none in Etritia are safe while he sits on the throne. The fate of Azimar rests with the Amulet of Water. Can it be found before the tides of fortune turn against Roland?
