Always bet on a Windtracer when a deadly relic is on the line…

When an old debt calls in Windtracer Tela Kioni, she turns to her companions Kiyosi Valchar and Mikasi Zenia for a little help. They quickly find themselves in the fractured kingdom of Jata, chasing a sacred relic thought lost to history. A device that nearly toppled the world.

But they’re not the only ones hunting it.

If claimed by the wrong hands, that relic could reignite ancient war machines and plunge Jata into conquest and chaos. Caught between zealots, treacherous nobles, and cutthroat thieves, Tela must find out who to trust. Not to mention whoever had the bright idea to plan mass murder on a scale the world hasn’t seen in centuries.

All while she has to keep her friends alive… and figure out who the “right hands” really are.

Windtracer Tales is a work of pure, unashamed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather fancy and quite proud of itself. Names of characters, places, events, organizations and locations are all creations of the author’s imagination for this fictitious setting. Any resemblance to persons living, dead, or reanimated is coincidental. The opinions expressed are those of the characters and should not be confused with the author’s, since the characters and the author tend to disagree a lot.

Also! Windtracer Tales and Windtracer: Adventures in Awldor is written with much respect to Starfarertheta and their work on the other half of Awldor.
