• Threads of Fate
  Angsmar would rather be killing monsters than listening to his uncle lecture him about starting a family, but given the choice, he’d rather be drinking fire cordial to drown the guilt and loneliness.

The last people he wants to be on this quest with are an oafish older squire, a decorated knight, and a meek, though powerful, wizard, Petra. As he searches for the evils without, he must face the darkness within.
