They think she’s saving the world. She plans to rule it.Adon Resha, daytime heiress to a crumbling merchant empire, and night-time vigilante makes a terrifying pact with an ancient, shadowed entity in a desperate move to gain power. Above her dark and murderous ways lies the facade of a sweet girl trying to save her family’s business.

She discovers a shadowy conspiracy that would destroy the Resha Shipping Company, the source of which seems to come from a distant forger across the continent. To stave off ruin she must hunt down this forger. But the perilous journey demands allies. She assembled a crew to join her—a haunted fighter, a naive cleric, a genius gnome, an enigmatic broker, and a fellow warlock with his own secrets. They know nothing of the true darkness she harbors. Can she lead them into the jaws of danger and manipulate their strengths, all while guarding the monstrous truth of her ultimate desire?

They see a young noblewoman on a righteous mission. You’ll see the master manipulator, the future tyrant playing a long, deadly game.

    The story is awesome so far, I am particularly loving the attention to detail in world building and character development. The locations and characters have really strong identity and makes it easy to picture the situations while reading and be fully immersed whether it’s within the safe walls of Resha Manor, the dank sewers and streets of Fischholme, or wherever else in Lysandril the adventure leads.
    One really unique aspect of this story is the episodic nature each chapter brings once you get further into the story. It really feels like you’re witnessing a DnD session. Each character feels humanized in that they clearly have their own motivations and agency. Everything they do is part of plot, but the story follows the characters rather than the characters just feeling like plot devices to further the main character’s story. There is a very organic feel to the characters doing things because that’s what that player did at the table rather than expressly because the plot demands it. As someone who enjoys DnD but doesn’t play often, this is a really neat medium of experiencing the things that make DnD so fun!
