Odo didn't know what was in store for him when the wizard called him into his study. The wizard gave him a simple task--deliver a stone, wrapped, sealed, and warded to a king halfway across the world. And to this end, Odo will be protected by a band of skilled mercenaries, paid a staggering fortune in gold.
Yet, the outside world is not as certain or safe as that of the wizard's compound. A fact that Odo will learn, much to his horror and regret.
In a seedy tavern, two men meet.
One, an old and seasoned guide who knows the way to a tomb where riches are rumored to exist. A place somewhere on the fabled mountain called the Horn of Torgiv, in a region notorious for evil things and dark deeds.
The other is a mysterious young man named Halsedric, who seeks something other than wealth. What he seeks is something old, dark, and diabolical.
What waits in the dark depths of the tomb? And will it lead to their ruin?
Journey to the Horn of Torgiv and discover the dark secret hidden beneath the gray stone of the mountain.
