The magician, Kod Hawklight, fears his use of enchantments will be greatly handicapped after the loss of one of his fingers. However, after he is summoned to heal three travelers, Kod discovers that one of them, the dwarf Olan Stronghelm, is carrying a map that reveals the location of an ancient stronghold. Along with the mysterious thief, Brehana Songsteel, and the fierce half-orc, Smunt, they follow the map through untamed forests, battling many obstacles along the way. If they survive the perils of the forest, will they find the lost city, and whatever treasure might still remain within?
