She's broken. She's dangerous. And she has nothing left to lose.

Blacksmith, Quistix, suffers a tragic loss the night a bandit invades her humble Bellaneau home in search of ‘
The Illuminator.’ After months of crushing loneliness, the disheveled half-elf is out for blood, seeking revenge on the man who shattered her idyllic life, seeking answers about why this elusive Illuminator is so highly sought-after. A wounded wyl, a brilliant esteg, and child-like dragonling soon join her on her odyssey.

But Destoria is a
dangerous place. The isle is bursting with clever hybrid creatures, floating magical cities, treacherous backstabbers, drug-addled bandits, and the isle's sadistic, dikeeka-peddling new queen: Exos Tempest.

The high fantasy Illuminator Saga is perfect for lovers of
Lord of the Rings-style questing odysseys, dungeon crawlers, LIT RPG, Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, and worlds with dragons, elves, and other mythical creatures.
