Unconventional Classes
Where does one hide from a vengeful god?
That is the question set before the party of adventurers from Maplebark as they flee what remains of the Ardrane Estate. They need a place to shelter, to regroup, and to make preparations for the future.
Fortunately, the party has a lead on just such a place, even if it is somewhat . . . unusual.
At a university run by a goblin, the group discovers unusual lessons, buried secrets, and clues toward a mystery of their own. Yet all is not well on campus, as lingering dangers resurface while agents of a forgotten enemy search nearby, drawing steadily closer.
Old grudges return as the adventurers race to capitalize on an opportunity that might just give them the power they need to truly turn the tables. If they can survive it.

Loved it
This is another great book, I love the characters and their growth. And not only what is happening in the magical world, there is a lot going on with the players and their investigations on Broken Bridge Publishing. Can't wait to see what happens next.

another smash!
As an avid fan of RPGs, I’ve always loved the behind-the-scenes feel of this series and the latest installment is no disappointment. Once again the heroes are set upon by adversity and once again, the outcome is not what would be expected. Since I love the discovery I won’t include any spoilers; but if you’ve already gotten into these books, this is an awesome read from start to transcendant finish!
