Iron & Thorn (Volume Two) The Wayfinders Guild

The road calls. We answer.
The world of Asterra is changing.
The battles that once threatened cities have revealed something far greater lurking beyond the borders of civilization. Ancient ruins have begun to awaken. Forgotten roads are being rediscovered. Strange signals echo through the wilderness. New factions rise, old powers stir, and countless mysteries wait beyond the horizon.

For Mayumi "Yumi" Amagiri, the journey that began with survival has become something more.
No longer a frightened outsider struggling to understand an unfamiliar world, Yumi has found a place among those who refuse to let the unknown remain unexplored. The Wayfinders Guild is not a kingdom, army, or empire. It is a gathering of explorers, mechanics, scouts, hunters, scholars, and wanderers who believe that every road leads somewhere worth discovering.
Together they travel across Asterra's untamed frontiers, mapping forgotten territories, helping isolated settlements, uncovering ancient secrets, and facing dangers few dare approach.
But the road ahead is anything but safe.
Deep within the Thornwood Jungle lies the Thornwood Expanse, a web-choked wilderness claimed by monstrous Weaver Clans. Across distant regions, powerful new factions prepare for conflicts yet to come. Strange relics connected to the Gates continue to surface. The dead still move beneath forgotten battlefields. And somewhere in the darkness, enemies watch the growing influence of the guild with increasing concern.
Alongside familiar allies such as the mysterious assassin Shiori, Yumi will discover that the world beyond the known roads is far larger than she ever imagined. New allies, rival explorers, forgotten civilizations, dangerous frontiers, and ancient secrets all await beyond the horizon.
Friendships will deepen. Legends will grow. New roads will be opened.
And some roads may lead to truths that should have remained buried.
