When the leader of the ruthless Technic League calls in a favor, the
mild-mannered alchemist Alaeron has no choice but to face a life he
thought he'd left behind long ago. Accompanied by his only friend, a
street-savvy thief named Skiver, Alaeron must head north into Numeria, a
land where brilliant and evil arcanists rule over the local barbarian
tribes with technology looted from a crashed spaceship. Can Alaeron and
Skiver survive long enough to unlock the secrets of the stars? Or will
the backstabbing scientists of the Technic League make Alaeron's
curiosity his undoing?
