White Fox

The journey ensues on the island of Santa Tierra: a long-lost world now hidden deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean.

Out set six travellers over the arid deserts, wild jungles, and rocky mountain paths of the island, bound to one another by the King’s Errand: the origin of their alliance.

Two come armed with swords; one armed with bow and arrow; one armed with knowledge; one with cunning, and one armed only with innocence.

The path is perilous; their task is subject to time. Serpents slither in the darkness, waiting for their moment to strike and feed, like shadows with teeth.

Enter Panther: a potential friend, arrayed in the bloody raiment and sharp sword of foe.

And enter the villagers of the White City: the City of Foxes. Their small colonies remain scattered on and around the tall mountain of Kitsuné, preserving their way of life with valour and vigilance.

Will all six travellers make it to the gates of the city, to tend to the first stage of their errand and prepare for the next? Or will they be picked off, one by one, left blind and groping in the dark?

And what will happen when the gates finally open?
