Shadowplay

 Shadowplay is yet another side story to the series of works inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, as a part of A Call to Arms. Set at about the same time period as the previous installment, Through The Castle Garden, Shadowplay takes place within the aristocratic city of Bourret within Seelago. Unlike every other installment, however, Shadowplay focuses upon a rather ordinary civilian rather than an established adventurer, with the merchant's apprentice Primrose Reed getting the main role as she works a stand for her fragile, but budding merchant collective, Red Ambrosia Wares. In the midst of her day, however, Primrose finds herself accosted by an enigmatic traveler named Ash Snyder, a brazen woman who seems to know too much and too little at the same time.
