In Gaius Darkspell and the Sapphire of Regret, a wizard, a sorceress, a bard, and an invisible barbarian botch their escape from a palace heist and find themselves on the run—with a cursed gemstone and very few options. Misfired spells, wardrobe malfunctions, and magical misunderstandings ensue as they try to flee the city. But when a desperate teleport lands them somewhere even more dangerous, they discover that the real treasure might not be the one they stole—but the story they’ve wandered into. Gaius Darkspell and the Sapphire of Regret is the prequel to Gaius Darkspell and the Duel of Fates.
