Trail of Death

Just because you're chosen, doesn't mean you want to be.
Reluctance is a thing of the past for Nicolas Percival Carnegie as his party embarks on a quest to rescue the people of Hablock. To do that, they must track down Alric Tavish, their one link to the mysterious group causing chaos in Etherius.
Their pursuit takes a surprising turn when the group save Billy Bobknobs from Alric's clutches, and the hunters quickly become the hunted. Soon enough Nicolas will discover that his promise to keep his new companion safe is a monumental task better suited to an entire army. For it isn't just Tavish who's after Billy. Everyone is!
Finding themselves under constant attack by new and surprising enemies, Nicolas and his companions will have to come together as never before, at a time when the gap between them seems to be widening. Only then can they survive long enough to learn why Billy is so important to the Maestro.
But they are also about to learn something even more surprising: that taverns can be the least hospitable places of all.
