Beasts of Courth

Raised on the edge of The Wilds, Enguer Rand understood well the harsh realities and feral savagery of nature. His father was a legendary Ranger whose quiet, bitter teaching prepared Enguer with the skills to survive in such an unforgiving environment and more importantly, to accept it. Even embrace it. This was the world he belonged in - where he felt at home. And when his father died, The Wilds welcomed Enguer with warm memories and purpose for a life unaccustomed to urban comforts and social graces.

But fate had other plans, and just when Enguer thought he would slip silently into the wilderness and the obscurity it offered, an old friend of his father's showed up unexpectedly on his doorstep. A High Priest of Sunna with fearsome tales of homes raided in the night, citizens abducted from their beds or attacked viciously by ferocious beasts obscured in darkness had pushed the frightened populace of Courth to the edge of panic. Patrols sent into the gloom of The Wilds in pursuit of the invaders never returned and the fate of those taken alive were the subject of horrifying speculation.

Following a twisted path of uncertainty, Enguer would soon find himself face to face with the awful truth behind the beasts of Courth and the life-changing events that would catapult him onto an even larger stage of malicious intrigue and deceit. In this new world he would soon be forced to make a choice - to kill the beasts, or become one.
