The Sign of the Bronze Hammer

The city of Qaiqala is the greatest of all the city-states of the Swordlands of Kharadas, and here all adventurers in time make their way. Carse, now calling himself Blade, and still in possession of the cursed Red Blade, seeks means of disposing of it.

In so doing he meets for the first time the wild Aedring swordmaiden Fianna, better known as Peregrine. Before they can get to know each other, they must work together, to utilise their strengths to complete a task assigned to them. Only together can they succeed, or even hope to survive.
