Lifts / Escalators By Matthew Tysz

• A humble refugee from a war-torn land has inherited property in the rich and powerful kingdom of Voulhire. He is anxious to begin his life and show his gratitude to his new homeland, but the kingdom of Voulhire is rife with troubles that lie deep beneath its perfect surface.
• In the far reaches of uninhabitable realms lies the Riva Rohavi, a host of rebels who dance in wild step as they slaughter all who contribute to the prosperity of the land they so despise. Meanwhile, a few short miles south of Voulhire?s shores, is an island guarded by an armada of ships. These ships ensure the imprisonment of perhaps the most powerful wizard in human history. There he broods, awaiting his perfect moment. King Wilhelm seeks to safeguard his nation, but he requires the help of the Mianoran Knights, an order almost as old as the kingdom itself, but the first knight is a corrupt and pedantic philanderer who sees both the kingdom and life itself as nothing more than a game.
