For satyr Thepa Warbol, the world of Sainta has been at war for as long as she can remember. Savage beasts ravage the lands, and the five allied nations are fractured in their ability to unite and deal with the ever-growing horde. As resources and lives dwindle, mandatory conscription drafts every fresh body, and Thepa, being the daughter of the Matriarch, is no exception. In Thepa's mind, her future is sealed- but fate has other plans for her. Her mother, Lockti Warbol, sends her not to train in one of the three Beachwick guilds, but to the Halfling city of Wildehaven. It is there she meets a mischievous elven cleric named Rory. Through twists of destiny, Rory introduces her to a new life and friendship, not bound by blood, but by an unbreakable bond-the one who will become Thepa's sister. Battling self-doubt Thepa must confront her destiny, as a looming threat and a forgotten past entwine, forcing a choice between newfound freedom- and a fateful birthright.
