Insidius

By Matthew Runals

As the fire-wielding Ember legions scorch their way across Novum Albion, the mountain stronghold of Lapidius stands alone, its ancient order of Stoneseekers dwindling, its defenses failing. Young cadet Joey Voboril, thrust into a deadly mission alongside the fierce and enigmatic Maisie, must brave cursed forests, monstrous beasts, and a crumbling alliance to reach the last safe city. But survival is only the beginning.

The Stoneseekers are on the brink of collapse, their ancient school teetering on the edge of annihilation. Joey and Maisie carry more than supplies and orders: they carry the future of Lapidius, and perhaps all of Novum Albion itself. Carrying a sealed letter that could change everything, Joey holds the key to a war no one believes can be won.

A story of resistance, magic, and the quiet courage it takes to stand when the world burns.
