Enter the world of Runlaris where vast landscapes teem with perilous adventures and passionate amour. Evelot Wheaton, a young witch and small-town oddity, never believed life meant more than keeping to the shadows and practicing her potion-brewing. That is, until her home of Goldencrest suffers the signs of a savage intruder on the cusp of the annual harvest festival. The townsfolk quickly give in to mass hysteria and raise a frenzied hunt into the trees of the neighboring forest. The woodlands aren't to blame, but no one will listen. Not unless Evelot can make them see reason-by hunting the beast herself. With accolades aplenty and fans begging for more of his music, Zenris Aspenheart knows his life is only as legendary as his next adventure. A visit to a developing town may seem like a side quest compared to performing on extravagant stages, but Zenris has his reasons. And as his strong-armed companion pressures him to earn his keep during the hunt, Zenris finds it crucial to team up with the town pariah lest his true intentions be exposed. Hunting isn't easy beside someone infuriating, but there's more than meets the eye for both their causes, and their hearts.
