In the heart of the Thirteen Lands, where the Desert of Grumbal meets the Sarlback Mountains, the Castle of Nezbrael waits.
Once the fortress of the most powerful wizard in history, it now guards the Orichalcum Scepter—an artifact that can answer any question, no matter how impossible. But Nezbrael’s final spell turned his home into a labyrinth of shifting traps, ruthless riddles, and lethal guardians.
When hunter Richard stumbles into its depths fleeing a pack of kobolds, he collides with Elisha, a mercenary with more scars than trust to give. Together, they forge a fragile pact, their survival bound to the ten enchanted coins needed to reach the tower. In rooms that demand blood, wit, and sacrifice, alliances fracture. Betrayal bleeds into necessity. And every step brings them closer to the Scepter… and to the truth Richard will risk everything to uncover.
The castle can’t be conquered. But maybe it can be survived.
