When Figol wishes to join the druids, they both are sent on an impossible quest to form a new alliance. But who? The Emerald Druids hold them in disdain. The Centaurs shoot humans on sight. The Demon Summoners and their infernal demons are too foul to consider. Unexpected kindness and cruelty await, but not from whom they expect.
