Company of Strangers

Wizard Sienne dreams of becoming a scrapper — hunting the ruins of the Empty Lands for lost magical artifacts. Her first break comes with a ragtag team: scrapper Dianthe, her wizard-hating partner Alaric, the drunk priest Perrin, and young fighter Kalanath. Finding the treasure proves only the beginning; they must learn to work together if they want to survive.

A blackmailer forces Sienne and her companions to retrieve an ancient stone artifact from an abandoned village — or their quest to free Alaric's people ends. Their new adventure takes them north to the edges of the Empty Lands, where monsters roam and even the land is dangerous. Someone else wants what they're after, and will kill to get it. In a deserted castle past the borders of civilization, they encounter evil unlike any they've faced before.

With two items in hand, Sienne and her companions feel closer than ever to saving Alaric's people. But the quest takes a dark turn when the next step leads them into the forbidden world of necromancy. Hired to locate a missing man whose studies in the dark art may hold what they need, the companions soon discover how deep his secrets run — and encounter a creature that may be impossible to defeat.

Sienne's family arrives in Fioretti with news that threatens her ties to her companions and her relationship with Alaric. To escape her fate and Perrin's vengeful father, the friends take a job in the eastern mountains. The task seems simple — clear a ruin threatening a struggling community of settlers — but nothing is as expected, and a terrible confrontation may end in someone's death.

An unexpected discovery draws Sienne and her companions to Omeira, Kalanath's lost homeland. A surprising welcome leads to another revelation: to complete their quest, they must travel to the city of Ma'tzehar, swallowed by the desert centuries ago. Dangers lurk throughout the journey, but the real challenge begins inside the mysterious city — where an ancient, powerful creature may hold the key to everything.

With their quest nearly complete, Sienne and her companions prepare to challenge the wizard who enslaved Alaric's people. A message from an unexpected source delivers terrible news: Alaric's beloved younger sister is the wizard's latest hostage. In a desperate bid to save her and destroy the wizard, the companions travel to a secret valley in the far north to face the combined might of enslaved unicorns and the most powerful wizard in the world.
