Whitehorse Peak - Badzey, Pg

. .

Résumé :
On the borderlands of the Kingdom of Deran, a young forest scout named Dar Cabot fights off an attack by Goblin warriors and finds the ruins of a village, its homes burned and people slain. Eager for justice for the townsfolk, he enlists the help of an unlikely combination of allies: a Halfling spy with a hidden past, the adopted son of a famous wizard, two half-Elven sisters from a enemy land, a widowed priestess of the Elven god and a seemingly laid-back warrior with secrets of his own. Together the new-found companions battle against the shadowy cult of the Ja'al and its inhuman allies in the dark caverns and green woodlands of the frontier. Their search leads them on a journey to powerful magic, long-lost ruins, and chilling discoveries of evils from a bygone age. Dogged by an ancient prophecy that seems to call them out by name, the companions find friendship, romance, intrigue, and startling revelations as they race against time to thwart the Ja'al plans and solve the mystery of Whitehorse Peak....
