Then a great flood washed away half the town. Streets were swallowed by streams vines barred broken windows and the boughs of trees became the roofs of crumbling courtyards. Only the Gardners a benevolent family of innkeepers could keep the town from destroying itself even more. Over the centuries a quaint township of hovels and homes developed around the House on the Hill. Peace was maintained between the poor and the rich the city and the wilds.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Then Arthur Gardner became the innkeeper. He never wanted to be. But when his brother was killed in battle he made two promises. First to bring his brother's remains back home. Second to watch over the family inn. He kept both promises but at the cost of his sanity. Surrounded by mutinous starving men-he did the unthinkable.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Now the innkeeper is back and a boy has gone missing.

Together the fates of Auberdine's most reviled and rejected outcasts weave a story of one town's redemption. But will the price of peace be too costly for some to pay?</span></p>
