Sheltered from the outside world by ancient traditions and complex rituals, the avout adapt and persevere through history’s darkest times.

A World on the Brink Unforeseen forces threaten the delicate balance of mathic life and the ennui of the outside world. Only an unlikely alliance can stand against the coming disaster. Erasmas, along with his colleagues, is summoned from the safety of the Concent, burdened with a staggering responsibility. Embark on an Extraordinary Odyssey Erasmas becomes a key player in a drama that will shape the future. His journey will take him to the most dangerous and inhospitable corners of the planet… and beyond.
