Witch Warden

The Guild Guard serves the Witches Guild by protecting its sisters and crushing witchblood harvests perpetrated by the Nassara, who use the stolen blood to make themselves a greater threat. After decades of war, the Nassara finally appear to be in full retreat, and the commanders of the three overworld armies urge Warden Maels Raptori, leader of the Guild Guard, to avoid the risk of going out on missions. So Maels decides a simple intelligence-gathering operation on a midworld beneath the Handresi overworld will be his last. But when the mission takes an unexpected turn and Maels stumbles onto the path of a third party involved in the war, with plans to smash both sides and claim the strands as its own, the overweb's last Raptori knows he cannot simply stand aside. For one overworld is about to fall, and unless Warden Maels and his Guard act quickly, all lives within the remaining strands may fall prey to a spell so powerful the only way to defend against it is to shatter the overweb, condemning countless worlds to isolated chaos.
