Without a guide, without a plan... without a choice...
Ramona Kate Cyanberry has a mission and a duty. It is her responsibility to protect the powerful but timid sorceress Isabelle Periquay, and to escort two brothers, cleric Danzer and swordfighter Denler, safely to a town of their choosing. But life is seldom as simple as mission parameters.

...lost.
