Once the Ferale Coast was a place where one could live free, but that was before the army of the Orklyns came. Many are now enslaved...or worse. This is the story of how six humans, three enchanted folk, and a halfling make a break for freedom. This book contains the episodes "Escape" and "The Wave Riders." 'Escape' tells the tale of how the Hardway heroes meet and manage to help others as they frantically search for a way out of the conquered lands. From a ill fated circus show to aiding a living legend freeing women and children from a madman, while being hunted by the orcs, our heroes must learn to work together and trust one another in their quest to be free. In 'The Wave Riders' our heroes are now being relentlessly pursued by the vindictive priests of Indigo Order. It seems the entire world is out to get them as they deal with the effect of a curses, a murder trial, thieves, pirates, and even a hurricane. Emotions run high with love, guilt, the anxiety of execution, and betrayal. Join our heroes as they learn about themselves and the the wondrous world around them as their flight for freedom becomes a fantastic journey of exploration and discovery. Tag along with them as they learn of ancient empires, lost treasures, and amazing races. Who will survive this incredible trek and who will be left behind? And, what will they find if they return to their homes?
