Publisher's blurb:
The stone-paved roads of the Everwood county have kept the North free and prosperous for generations. Safe and fast passage through the dark and deep northern forests have been important trade routes for merchants and highways for armies.
For three winters the roads have not been safe anymore. A group of bandits has been ambushing and attacking caravans on the Everwood roads and grown more powerful and bold more recently. The bandits use magic to prepare their ambushes, defeat any opposition and to escape without a trace.
This multilevel castle boasts among other things a library, a private study, an underground harbor, an observatory, an altar, a well, and scattered statues, all neatly packaged within strong fortified walls.
