Underkeeper

Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. He finds himself working in the city sewers as an Underkeeper — spending more time unclogging pipes than fighting monsters. With the help of his unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he's saving up to become an adventurer. When a dungeon unexpectedly opens beneath Halfbridge, it's the golden opportunity he's been waiting for. But a simple dungeon raid goes wrong, and Bernt finds himself on the front lines of a battle against an ancient foe. For most, waging a war in the sewers is a nightmare. For Bernt, it's just another workday.

The Conclave at the Sacral Peaks was meant to unite humanity against the Duergar invasion. Instead, Bernt and Torvald find themselves fighting to keep the Invigilation from turning on the very people it was created to protect. With the Duke convinced that Bernt's new sorcery could change everything, Bernt must join a diplomatic mission into the heart of the enemy's domain — the Seat of Molten Stone — to convince the Duergar Imperial Council to rein in one of their own. But the Seat offers more than negotiations. Grundrik thinks he's already won. Unless Bernt finds a way to stop him, no one's words will matter.
