Nalion is thrown outside of his comfortable research-bubble as he receives a warning from a nature spirit. He is instructed to find three ingredients and to combine them at a specific spot in order to cleanse the corruption slowly spreading its tendrils.  Conveniently, the first ingredient leads Nalion to the graves of the secret society called the Order of the Stag, where he meets up with Erevan - a gruff ranger with a (secret!) diary and a notable drinking problem - as well as Hama. She just wants to get paid and avenge her parents' fiery murders. Is that too much to ask? And what’s up with the book Nalion found? Ilias’ magic is quite strange as well, hmm… Surely not at all connected to an ancient eldritch tentacle god of horror and madness. Featuring: Nalion’s love of books, Erevan’s love of beer and Hama’s love of sarcasm. Meanwhile Ilias just wishes to not fall flat on his face yet again, thank you very much. "Book of the year!" - My husband. "Wääh!" - My baby. "Woof woof!" - My dog.
