Shattered Oaths & Masks Undone: A Tusk & Tarts Tale - Hardcover

by Ethan Jakob (Author)

In the heart of Hus'rokn and the Wylds, where the peaceful sister cities hide a dark underbelly, Callus Kordec and Arialyn Foghand have found a fragile peace at their newly established shop, The Amethyst Artificer. Callus, a former gladiator known as the Hobgoblin Reaver, found his purpose again and attempts to leave his violent past behind. Arialyn, a brilliant gnome arcanomancer with a passion for creation, dreams of innovation and a new start as they build their future together.

Kasha Volstruk, Callus's fierce friend from their shared childhood, fights to establish her ambitious tavern, the Witch's Tits & Tarts, amidst a tide of threats and uncertainty. Her determination to carve out a place in a hostile world puts her at odds with dangerous forces that seek to control her destiny, while she battles her growing feelings for Egrim, a mysterious father and widower who helped save her tavern in its early days of renovation.

Meanwhile, Kovag'Dresh races across Yonara as a man on the run, bound by a perilous pact with a Lunar Fae and safeguarding young Saffron from those who would exploit her. Unknown to most, the threat pursuing him could shatter the very barriers that keep the corrupting void at bay, unleashing a catastrophe upon the world that Callus had once been warned of by The Hanged One.

When the shadows move, the void follows. Hard-won peace fractures, forcing allies-old friends and unlikely alliances-into a fight for survival. As old fears awaken and trust is pushed to the breaking point, they find their only weapons are the bonds they refuse to surrender.

In Shattered Oaths & Masks Undone, a web of broken promises and buried secrets begin to crumble before the storm of truth - forcing a choice between the safety of the mask... or the peril of becoming your true self.
