The Wayward Witch Chronicles

From a desperate bid to save lives came a parting of friends, and a promise to meet again. But when a betrayal breaks that promise, the witch Norui is lost. Enter Allen West, an Investigator for the Bureau of Magic Regulations, who hunts down illegal magickers. A lead on a series of missing adventurers traps him and his companions in the very ruins imprisoning Norui. They have only a single night to escape the domain of the enigmatic Whistler, a powerful illusionist whose twisted games blur the lines between reality and nightmare.  But as West and Norui join forces, their greatest threat may not be the dark forces that threaten their lives, but their fellow adventurers, whose loyalties are as uncertain as the shifting illusions surrounding them. As the night draws on, they must decide if they can trust each other- or if their journey will end in ruin. Survival demands more than just determination: it requires courage, trust, and the rediscovery of a long-lost bond. The only way out is through.... Inspired by a D&D campaign.
