The first in a trilogy, this book follows the paths of three separate stories within a troubled fantasy world. With war raging to the south and crime ripening in the north; danger, excitement, adventure and deceit all await. A powerful warlord raises an army capable of conquering all before him, a group of mercenaries track a band of dangerous corsairs, and a young wanderer from a distant land seeks a future away from his troubled heritage. Through the clashing of swords, spears, axes and more, a select number of heroes will twist their tale to seal the fate of the Realm and all those within it.
