First Prince, The

In The First Prince, a young naiad named Joia has been kidnapped by a group of outlaws. Dionekies is dispatched to collect the leader of this group and secure the return of the naiad before her father, Algus, the very river that runs through the region, destroys everything in his desperation to find her. Is it merely a kidnapping, or is something much more nefarious at play? What ancient powers will be aroused by the actions of this desperate band? And what risks will the prince take to rescue Joia, the naiad in question? In A Little Cash, A Pair of Dice, and a Bottle or Two of Ambrosia, Parcus, the Aspect of Economics, is enjoying a profitable day in his Market when a trio of visitors invite themselves to call on him. They have him at a disadvantage right at the start, each of them understanding who Parcus is and his role in the realms of Kel. But who are these visitors? What right do they have to visit The Market? Does their business plan make any sense? And do they have any idea what happens if you let a mortal consume Ambrosia?? In Killing Them Softly, a less-than-legal business deal goes horribly wrong. Ere escaped- or did he? And will Zornig, a former member of the Schatten who has turned rogue, realize the danger this creates for his band of cutthroats in time to prevent further disaster? Assassin! is a creepy story for children, detailing an adventure that takes place when a gnomish assassin plots the perfect murder, on the edge of Grendel’s haunted wood, in the wilds near Paravel. In The Steward of House Alléchant, Camille, Steward of the Princess Alléchant, receives word that the Schatten have accepted a contract on the princess’ favorite uncle. What better way to counter an assassination- than to dispatch an assassin in her own employ? But is this merely an attempt on the life of a famous corsair, or is there a broader scheme at play?
