After leaving Zeidmoore Manor and returning to the life of a traveling adventurer, Lecan's first order of business is to find an apothecary capable of replenishing his limited stock of effective medicine. His best bet lies in the city of Volka, and he is soon hired as a bodyguard for a wagon headed there--a position he will share with the (self-professed) master adventurer Eda. Can Lecan survive attacks by monsters and bandits with only someone who couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag watching his back?!
