Four young Hermetic magi come together to found a new covenant on the Isle of Man.
- 1: When in Rome—Ilius Enzoquam of Verditius, Gergo of Guernicus, and Kykna of Bjornaer assemble in Rome for the coronation of Frederick II. But the fourth member of their covenant is missing? Where is Tereysa Johanes of Flambeau?
- 2: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum—In the catacombs underneath the city, the magi unite at last and rescue Tereysa's faithful servant Pablo from the pagan undead.
- 3: The Cursed City—Having chosen the Isle of Man as the site of their new covenant, the magi—led by the Redcap Conrad Baker—sail west but encounter a Hermetic magus turned to evil in Lisbon, a city forsaken by God.
- 4: Landing—With two of their covenfolk inching closer to death, the magi at last arrive at Man. But perhaps Thomlyn MacGilmarten, a traveling alchemist, can provide the medicines they need?
- 5: The Round Meadow—Guided by Thomlyn, the magi explore a magic regio that is home to a helpful giant with a tragic tale.
- 6: Where Wolf?—Conrad, Kykna, and Alvaro the Almogavar travel to the Stonehenge Tribunal, and along the way they meet Sir Alec of Scotland, a knight with a terrible curse.
- 7: The Red Book of Cloyne—Gergo, Thomlyn and Cleis go to the mercer house of Leth Moga in Hibernia in search of vital information, running afoul of an archmage and earning the service of Bradan O Murchadha, a librarian and shape-changer.
- 8: Caarjyn Arawn—Kykna, Gergo, Tereysa and Conrad lead the grogs to Burroo Ned, where a Diedne covenant was destroyed in the early days of the Schism War.
