OVERALL WINNER of the WattALegend: Quorin Saga collaboration contest hosted by the Fantasy family of Ambassador profiles (2021)

***

There is a strange restlessness in the magical land of Quorin. 

A teenage girl sneaking home one night finds herself face to face with Scydelle's greatest legend: a dagger that wanders the countryside in search of a new master. But its power comes at a terrible price. 

After a cunning witch siren steals the Ocean Song, a brave merprincess must journey to the Dead Waters to retrieve it for the sake of the underwater realm of Abyssos. 

A young monster-slayer journeys to Ashelum to face a murderous beast, only to come upon the secret of the kingdom's demise and its restoration. 

When an elf knight's quest reaches a fork in the road, he must decide whether to continue his search for Aelfdene's missing Queen or battle the beast terrorising a mountain village. 

The angel Princess and demon Prince's forbidden love was only their first trial. Now they must keep their baby safe from those who would kill him to prevent him from uniting the kingdoms of Haven and Hell. 

The other five kingdoms swirl in a chaos of their own. 

Ten quests. Ten heroes to answer the call, hoping that their bravery is enough to make the difference between life and death. 

Sometimes winning comes at a cost, sometimes it does not, but one thing is for certain. 

Expect the unexpected, for in Quorin, nothing is ever what it seems.

But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.
