A cursed city. An ancient secret. The only way out is through. Entering the Shattered City is a guaranteed death sentence. Guess where I'm headed next? The city once stood as the capital of the High Elven empire, a shining beacon of culture and power. Now its cursed remains mark the gravesite of a lost age. Anyone stupid enough to go in search of its riches is never heard from again, but that's exactly what I and my strange new companions are about to do. "Playing nice" isn't high on my list of skills, but working with the band of outcasts I'm stuck with is my only hope of surviving this little adventure, assuming we can stop bickering long enough to get the job done. Not that we have much choice. A power-hungry wizard holds our lives in his hands, and the price of our freedom is a long-lost artifact hidden within the ruins. All we can do now is focus on the job at hand -- make our way into a city that no one has ever come back from before and survive its mysterious curse long enough to find High King Tyrial's lost crown. Oh, and get out alive. What could go wrong? *** Into The Shattered City is the second story in The Farshore Chronicles, a fantasy adventure born out of a tabletop campaign and inspired by the colorful, swashbuckling action of D&D and 90's fantasy greats like R.A. Salvatore, Mercedes Lackey, and Raymond Fiest. Magic, monsters, epic duels, cursed cities, romance, ghost armies, demon hordes, and quite possibly the end of the world await.
