The Tale of the Drakanox. Minstrels of Skaythe, #6

It was just an old story. There couldn't really be a lost civilization based on trust and equality. Not when the Wizard-King Dar-Gothull rules Skaythe through cruelty and terror. But when Ar-Thea told the story of the Shining Ones to her six magelings, the legend took root in their hearts. For years, they traveled the land as Minstrels. Through stories and song, they offered light and hope in dark times.
Now their secrets have been laid bare. The Minstrels flee as the regime gathers its forces to crush them. Yet there is hope. Deep in the cursed Hornwood, there is an incredible power that only the Minstrels can use. It is guarded by a terrible beast - the Drakanox! The Minstrels must call on every ally and avoid every enemy if they hope to recover what has long been lost.
