In the world of Aemilia, murmurs have swirled for millennia about the long-lost Tome of Time, an ancient artifact some believe caused the ancient Great Cataclysm that nearly exterminated humanity. Jack Wartnose, a mage with a shady past, seeks the tome to establish his name into the annals of Magedom!

Unfortunately for him, luck is not on his side.

An unexpected meeting with a childhood sweetheart derails his best laid plans. Now, a long forgotten promise forces him to unexpectedly marry and drag his new wife and their son on his perilous quest for this elusive magical tome. All the while, his fellow adventurers are grumbling about the added dead weight to their crew. He’ll need more than just his quick wits and spells to survive bloodthirsty monsters, vengeful revenants, mutinous party members, a needy wife, and a son taking after his more amorous vices.
