Vola might be new to this whole adventuring thing, but she’s pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to save the day. No one at her academy wanted an orc as a paladin, so they’ve sent her to the back end of a swamp, hoping she’ll never find a quest good enough to earn her shield. Well, screw that. Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting.

Vola, Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon know their enemy now. And it's time to take the fight to Anders. But they're going to need some help if they're going to keep him from sucking all the magic out of the world. This is a war for everyone. But why would anyone work together when they can fight among themselves? Vola has her work cut out for her to keep the peace between all their allies when no one wants to listen to a black paladin. And the worst culprits are the gods.

Vola, Talon, and the others may have gotten rid of Inga, but there's an even bigger bad guy out there stealing magic out of the land and its people. Luckily, the Dagger Princess has a lead, and now the team's headed to Firewatch, home of the great slumbering dragons. Just like the one that killed Talon's pack so long ago. However, that's going to be harder than usual. Someone is draining the magic out of the land itself, leaving dead spots in the desert. Maybe a big bad someone. Can Vola, Talon, and the others track down the magic thief before whoever it is wakes the dragons?

Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she's been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield? The only place she can think to retreat to is the last place she ever wanted to go. Home. Now she's got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup.

Relying heavily on the Scriptures, Jonathan gives the case for green living, but not because it's trendy and hip.
