Before the Spiral
Have you ever wondered what each member of the Hexad was doing right before they were transported through the spiral vortex or portal and materialized in Aztalun?

An original novella with a chapter from the viewpoint of each of the Hexad members. Each of the six had premonitions, dreams, or ot
