Meet Murta, Enoch, Jezna, and Prince.
They are a mercenary, a swashbuckler, a knight, and a treasure hunter. Each was recruited to train with the Brotherhood and become the newest Navigational Squadron and to follow in the fabled footsteps of the Leviathan and other storied navigators of Squadrons past.
But this isn’t the best time to be joining the Brotherhood. It’s hard in the best of times to be the neutral group in the middle, but with the Perpetual War starting to boil up again, the tension rising between the Noda and the Government, and rumors that the Jackals have resurfaced, there’s no room in the middle.
Now Murta, Enoch, Jezna, and Prince have to find themselves and the Tintagen Talismans, and confront their own pasts and innermost secrets while contending with factions both within and without the Brotherhood.
And the fate of the world of Archengard rests on whether they can, in fact, become navigators you can trust.
