INTO THE BROKEN LANDS

Centuries ago, Captain Marsan led a group of refugees away from the destruction rendered by a war between wizards and established the city of Marsanport, the last bastion of civilization. Now, her heirs must venture forth into the Broken Lands—dangerous, uninhabitable, and monster-filled—in order to provide the fuel that powers their home.

As the heir of Marsan, Ryan always knew he would have to make the journey into the Broken Lands. What he didn't expect, however, was for the record of his great-uncle's journey before him to be forever lost. Now, he must travel with a group of scholars and adventurers to follow in his relative's footsteps, uncovering the truth of what happened in order to survive. Along the way, he'll unearth the secrets surrounding “the Weapon,” a mysterious creature created by the wizards long ago.
