Visions of Zarua

An ancient darkness haunts the realm of Paltria.  Apprentice wizard Paddren is plagued by visions of a city on the brink of war.  When his master dies in mysterious circumstances, the Royal Order of Wizards refuses to investigate.  Helped by his childhood friend, the tracker Varnia, and her lover Leyoch, Paddren sets out to find the murderer. He uncovers assassins, secret sects and creatures conjured by blood magic.  Guided by a connection to an ancient wizard, Paddren must decipher his visions and save the realm before the dark menace of Zarua's past is unleashed.
