No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Cantor DAhma waited his whole
life for this day. Born with a gift to walk between worlds, the young
realm walker is finally ready to leave his elderly mentor and accept his
role as protector and defender of the realms.
But mere hours
after he steps through his first portal, Cantor discovers that his job
will be more dangerous and difficult than he ever imagined. The realms
are plagued with crime and cruelty, and even members of the once-noble
Realm Walkers Guild can no longer be trusted. To make matters worse, his
first assignment finding a dragon to assist him on his quest has
led him to Bridger, who is clearly inept and wont leave him alone.
With
the help of his new friends, Bixby and Dukmee, Cantor must uncover the
secrets of the corrupt guild before they become too powerful to be
stopped. But his skills arent progressing as fast as he would like, and
as he finds himself deeper and deeper in the guilds layers of deceit,
Cantor struggles to determine where his true allegiance lies.
