Orb and Arrow: Duty

By VL Stuart

The lords of southern Dereff have asked Brillar and Eden to establish a House of the Four Powers near Obreth. They have accepted the challenge and travel north to recruit mages from both the great houses. Those who agree will have to say their farewells to friends and relatives, cross the Wild with their families, and take up duties in the south.

But deep in the earth, evil is stirring. The Mother, the maker of the Savic, has been roused. Enraged by the death of her daughters at the hands of the mages and their supporters, she has summoned a quartet of daughters, vowing vengeance. Brillar must die, and her friends with her, then the House of Life must be destroyed, and the town of Laurenfell must be laid waste.

For the first time in a thousand years, there will be war!
