Dreamer's Folly

The daggers of gutter rats do not easily find themselves in the backs of princes, yet this vengeful hope is all that sustains young Jeld after the prince's tyranny leaves him alone and broken on the harsh streets of Tovar. The god-like Idols had abandoned Avandria, never so much as protecting him in dreams where some said they lingered.

Jeld's fight to survive brings together a diverse band of companions and begins his journey from the cold streets to the spired royal palace. Along the way, he will unlock the magic of a lost world, untangle the secrets of the missing Idols, and find love in the most unlikely of places as his blade inches ever closer to the prince.
