Owen, Axe, and Soren are on a quest to discover the truth behind Owen’s curse. They are joined by a short Satyr named Toro, who has lost his memory and swears he can explain Owen’s unusual situation once it returns. Soren has learned her powers may be capable of destroying the world and believes her past is tied to Owen’s, hoping that uncovering the truth behind his curse will reveal who and what she truly is. Axe, meanwhile, is clearly connected to the old gods—though all he really wants is another drink.
