In a war-ravaged kingdom struggling to rebuild, a reluctant band of misfits—led by a mistrusted mage and a battle-hardened companion—undertakes a perilous mission that leads them through cursed wilderness, besieged towns, and treacherous halls of power. Along the way they face monsters, cults, and political conspiracies while uncovering unsettling truths about the recent conflict and the rot spreading through the realm. As betrayals mount and long-buried secrets surface, they must decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice to confront the lies that ended the war—and the darker threat that may not be over at all.
