Between fighting a race of magic-wielding winged monsters, scaling Krakens, blinding Cyclops, running from Sirens, and being abducted by pirates it's all Arc Arcanum can do to keep his head on straight; literally. After losing the only home he's ever known, and with nowhere else to turn, Arc enlists with the Human Liberation Front to help fight against a ruthless species known as the Winged Ones and stop them from unleashing a world-wide human holocaust. He quickly finds that he may have bitten off more than he can chew when he's tasked (completely by accident) with escorting humanity's last hope, a red-eyed android named Celeste, across the sea to one of the few remaining human safe havens. To make matters worse he's accompanied by two fellow cadets: the feisty vixen Rose and the polyamorous playboy Prince, both of whom seem entirely set on making sure nothing goes as planned. It's a magical journey that proves blood isn't the only bond that makes a family.

Chosen for a clandestine mission into the heart of enemy territory, and plagued by horrific nightmares of his bloody fate, Arc Arcanum has a lot to contend with at the moment. As if that weren't bad enough he's got an immature runaway prince to babysit, a hot-tempered beauty to keep in check, and a doe-eyed android he needs to bring back in one piece. From goblins to zombies, wild-west shootouts to brothels, it's going to take everything he's got to bring himself and his friends back alive.
