Legends of Aukera: The Ascendants #2

Book excerpt: For Fans of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Dungeons and Dragons! Welcome to Dagruum, a port city plagued with pirates, thieves, and greedy nobles. Felosial, an elf with a penchant for magic, and her best friend Bakar, a down-on-his-luck dwarf, are both searching for new opportunities after Bakar loses his beloved restaurant to a gang of dangerous criminals. After stumbling upon a deal between thieves gone wrong, Felosial and Bakar encounter a mysterious rogue, known only as Shade, who may be the answer to all of their problems. And thus the story of the Legends of Aukera begins. THIS ISSUE: Felosial and Bakar have joined the Dagruum Thieves Guild, aided by their new friend and mentor, the cheerful and eccentric Dilavo. Tales of their exploits reach all the way to the guild's leader, Saboes Taabey, who entrusts them with an important task: crash a noblewoman's masquerade party to steal her magical pendant. They have some deadly competition, however, since they aren't the only ones after the pendant.
