Afonos, a kingdom of Kenkus, has inexplicably been struck by a terrible sickness. For months, they have suffered casualties threatening to bring the domain to its knees. In an effort to provide care to their people, the monarchy has sent out requests for foreign aid to assist them. With infection rates high and morale low, it will seemingly take a miracle to find a cure. Calliope, the lead doctor from the island country of Calypso, arrives in Afonos brimming with passion and determination. However, her intense desire to help others often leads to the sacrifice of her own well-being. Little does she know that the steadfast and unwavering crown prince has secretly infiltrated the quarantine camps as a volunteer relief worker. Tallos will not sit idly by as his people suffer. Yet when their worlds collide, can they professionally handle the task? Or will budding feelings and nearly unending despair rip them apart? This is an alternate universe novella based on the DnD characters created by Valencia Grace and Jack d'A.T. It is not cannon to the campaign storyline. Any other likeness to the plot and characters is simply a coincidence. Please enjoy!
