Book content

...I decided to join the pilgrims on their journey to the mountains of Sundanar. By the time the coin purse I brought with me was empty, I had already managed to become close friends with the monks, earning their trust and a place in their community. I spent a few years with them, making pilgrimages across half the Jacinth Kingdoms.

And yet, even at the edge of the world, my fate still caught up with me. I received some troubling news from Aldor about my family - our trade empire was falling apart. I had to make a choice once more...

Ever since my return to Aldor, I had a growing desire to tell the entire world about my adventures in the East.
