Left-Hand Path
"It wouldn't be magic's cutting edge if it didn't make someone bleed."
-- Carbon¸ founder of the Cloud Infinite Reapers
The Price of Disobedience
All societies have rules--even societies of mages. But rules were made to be broken. For the Awakened¸ shattered laws raise sinister forces. The Left-Hand Path tempts sorcerers with forbidden power¸ fulfilling their desires at the risk of ostracism¸ madness or damnation. In exile¸ more of them thrive than the Pentacle admits¸ challenging the peril to their souls... and uniting in common cause. Look Beneath the Surface.
