A young Witch rises in the remote North of the Kingdom of Thervia, building an army of Monsters, Barbarians and Criminals. She is intent on tearing apart the very fabric of Thervian society by restoring magic to the people. Her companions - among others, an escaped insectoid slave and a man of terrifying practicality outlawed for his treatise on magical industry - fight to keep her walking down the path she set out on. Can one woman, with enough will and power, change the world by herself?
