When two noble runaways post a commission to find their missing scholar father, they can't afford the guild fees. Codi—a gentle yet lethal double-star ranger—steps in to take the job pro-bono. Together, the unlikely trio embarks on a journey across dangerous wilderness, facing wild beasts, rogue soldiers, and noble secrets along the trail to Zakin Forest.
