Tales of wisttreear

There's no greater curse than war. And the kingdoms of Wisttrear know all about curses… Ever since the princess of Agreanor has fallen ill from an ancient royal curse and the king of the southern kingdom Geladen has been poisoned by assassins, whispers of an impending war is spread throughout every corner of Wisttrear. Should the king die, war will no longer be a mere whisper. But what if there was a way to prevent this? Deep in a place called Melandor, a place no one usually comes back to tell the tale of, grows a magical tree with the power to heal anything. Including curses and poisons. All it would take is a two leaves and a handful of men, brave enough to retrieve them. McAlester Deanir, the disgraced captain of the Mellor company of the Royal Army, and his three remaining men are all too eager to take on this quest. Saving the princess sounds like a way better plan than being executed, so save her they will. Even if they have to face the guardians keeping watch over the tree. But who will save the king? Arie Winthrop, a retired elven soldier and head royal guardsmen, steps up to the challenge.While the king's very life is on the line, his own uncle attempts to ascend to the throne and ignite the flames of war. Will Arie be able to stop him in time, or will he become another war casualty? After all, in war, there are no winners. Only survivors…
