What Darkness Hides Within The Murk Of Cistern Ale? Rolf the Tavernkeeper is a man with problems. The competition is crushing his business. His sister, a single mother named Karla, has moved into the Green Dragon and the baby is not making things any easier. You don't even want to hear what is going on with his brother, Alfred the Executioner.When financial desperation, the family ties that bind, and a hefty dose of cowardice see Rolf make selfish choices and dark alliances, he takes a course of action sees him become embroiled in behind-the-scenes plotting with the most powerful group in the Kingdom of Thrairn. Have his fortunes finally changed? Or will his gamble see him dead before dawn?While the thread of Rolf's plight bookends the rest of the stories in this anthology of fifteen tales, the rest of the yarns are of a more diverse sort. Set in such various locales as the mean streets of the Purple Run or the barracks of the Yellow Order of Knights, its timeline spans centuries. Featuring assorted intrigue like the politicking of an honourable Priest in a small town and a gumshoe Scribe in over his head in the capital City of Isha, contrasted with fierce threats in the steamy jungles of far-off Atika, Clovir: An Overture serves as an introduction to the world and characters of The Yoga Trilogy. See if you can spot the threads that tie in to the stories of The Yoga Trilogy, especially The Yoga of Strength.Oh, and there is plenty of magic.
