When Bonali, an exchange student from the magical college known as the Magambyaa in the Mwangi Expanse, is sent north to study at the Acadamae in Korvosa, he isn’t sure what to expect. It’s not surprising that the other students are strange, though their focus on summoning devils and other monstrosities is more than a little unnerving. Yet though he’s prepared for cultural differences, nothing in Bonali’s training can prepare him for life alongside his new roommate Jamang, whose pride and cunning may lead them both to an early grave. From New York Times best-selling author Elaine Cunningham comes a stand-alone short story featuring characters from her novel Winter Witch and set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
