Larch Bloodmoon and Greylocke Krolkag are just a couple of orc-kin Finders, digging through mouldy basements and dusty attics to unearth artifacts for SCAT, the Society for the Contemplation of Arcane Tangibles. It's a living, and not a very exciting one. Artifacts holding the vestiges of arcane power are mere historical oddities, and the ancient Source of magical power is a long-dead mystery. When magic Withered a century ago, folks adapted, and nobody other than Scholars like their boss really thinks much about magic any more.

Or do they?

When a new elf-kin Finder joins their team, Larch and Greylocke's routine is overturned as they're drawn into keeping her secrets. And with the discovery of an inexplicable artifact and rumours of a shadowy cabal bent on resurrecting magic, a dangerous new path beckons ... one the Finders can't ignore.
