Synopsis
Schemes are afoot, both grand and wretched alike. But all plots come to light, even the ones buried deepest... and once again, The Wandering Inn connects to these great events. In Chandrar, the King of Destruction's war with the faltering kingdom of Jecrass has reached a turning point, and a terrible climactic battle awaits. But the knife that cuts through every plot is simply honor. In the north, Ryoka and Fierre are riding the high of their amazing delivery to the Archmage of Izril, but their challenges won't end with one run. They're approaching the realm of Couriers; that means the stakes have never been higher. Monsters below and plots hatched from all sides, from the Circle of Thorns to the dungeon of Liscor, but the greatest story is perhaps one of mercy: the Yellow Rivers disease has evolved and is sweeping across Baleros. What stands between it and the world? Just a bit of courage. Just... Couriers.
