Book 3
The Art of Being Struck

Coming soon!
The Art of Being Struck: Adventurer’s Edition is a compact in-world Candlekeep edition of Orentha Vale’s dangerous Sensate work on hostile spellcraft, selected and annotated by Third Reader Selanka of Candlekeep for adventurers, warders, healers, and other unfortunate people likely to meet magic from the wrong side.
This book is a strange, funny, and practical threshold in the saga: not a traditional adventure, but a portable record of what hostile spells feel like when received by the body, and what careful readers might learn before pain becomes the only teacher. It closes the first volume by turning suffering into warning, testimony into use, and Candlekeep’s dangerous knowledge into something small enough to carry on the road.
