Minnette is a young elven woman who was raised by carnies traveling across the continent of Elvenon. One day her carnival troupe hosts a guild of foreign traders from the volcanic western isles of Kri'Kori.

Born with the Tamar gift of animal bonding, Minnette is asked by the carnival leader to assist the guild with their exotic creatures booth. Ever the lover of animals, she readily agrees to help but it is not long before she discovers they are keeping one of the elusive Aquaeth– a water elf named Myno– captive in a locked tank, treating him as a sideshow.

After Myno reaches out to Minnette for help, she devises a plan to free him from the guild and get him to the ocean before the cold of winter hits. The guild is not willing to just let him go, however, and sends bounty hunters to stop them before they reach the coast.

Follow the journey of Minnette as she and Myno race to reach the western coast of Elvenon before the guild's bounty hunters reach their mark.
