Meluja sits in a stagnant peace, and the Guild thrives in a golden age of heroism. Wonders and adventures lurk in every corner, and it's everything Riley could have asked for. Only, this came at the price of being dropped in the midst of a conspiracy. Humans are forbidden and hated, so he can only be granted shelter if he agrees to stay quiet and ignore it all. While that's easy enough at first, it's a different story when the history of this world emerges bit by bit to drag Riley into this mess.
Trouble brews that's beyond the Guild's direct control. Internal strife from the underground as a Sneasel seeks to usurp the criminals' crown, civil war in the desert just on the eastern boarders, and a perceptive son catching onto the Guild's conspiracy... And yet peace remains, for the Guild declares it.
