Clash of Fates

A book containing the story of a centuries dead spy is discovered. As fate would have it, only the last page survived. The page details the spy recalling a series of life changing events that cost her time and the life of her partner. She is promised that her story will be added to a collection of treasures. The treasures, originally collected by conquerors and stolen from subjugated peoples, were hidden later by more civil individuals so that they wouldn't be used to fuel further bloodshed. In the right hands, however, that wealth might be enough to change the world more peacefully. The spy's story, whatever that book entailed before only one page remained, is no different. Now, modern day players are up to the task of uncovering both the spy's missing story and the treasures. Helena Ridgard is a scholar, her boyfriend Draego Tervoski is a microbiologist. In their fields, both have been trained to search for patterns, and both hope to use the hidden prizes benevolently. They plan to put together a team to help them leave no stone unturned as they're allowed to investigate. Getting involved with plots, curses, and an unspeakably vast brand of magic was never something they had expected, but as they will soon discover, they may not be the only eager players, and the prospect of destiny has a way of bending life in new directions.
