Cadovis took on the greatest spirit in the land and, to his great wonder, did not die.  His spirit-sense, Anari, protected him, but she could not stop the invading army from devastating his homeland. The seaside town he called home with his wife, Perselanei, has been destroyed. 

​

He finds an old note, one he used to carry with him out to sea, that says to follow the cave. It's from his wife, and she used to tell him to meet her there someday. But the wandering cave is just a myth. Isn't it?

​

Encounters with witches, spirits, and antagonistic locals await him. Atta, a young mute girl, joins him after he saves her from a hungry witch. Together they lay up in a small mountain town. Cadovis must parse who is with them and who is against them, from Ma who takes them in, to her odd granddaughter, to the mysterious man in a black cloak.

​

A spirit comes and goes, pinging Anari's alarm inside Cadovis. He looks for it in the brief moments it comes to life, and in so doing uncovers murders, secrets, and allies with witches that might include the whole town.

​

At the same time, his past is haunting him. He has destroyed many spirits with Anari's help, and they sit inside him like a lead ball. But some of them may not be staying dead. 

​

It will take all his wits to reach the next cave alive. If only he knew how it worked.
