About the story
The Ambrose Isles are home to many things: A port full of cunning pirates, a deadly swamp, a desert kingdom, an isle of vicious beasts… But for those who’d prefer to live a simple life free of danger, Katti Town is the place to be. …Or was, rather--as the town suddenly found itself battling a horde of shadowy minions and their leader, Lilith. But hope was not lost--before Lilith could claim victory, a traveling knight appeared and drove back Lilith`s forces with ease. Now known as the Hero of Katti Town, the knight Freya took three villagers under her wing: Sera, a young warrior who fights to protect her grandmother; Thomas, an aspiring mage; and his partner Jake, a talented, yet uninspired, rogue. Together, they train to protect Katti Town, defeat Lilith, and to answer the question on everyone’s minds: Why is Lilith attacking the Ambrose Isles to begin with, and for that matter… Who is Freya? Continuing with tradition, Absinthia takes place in the same world as the other titles from Team Bewitched.
