The rebellion has been defeated by the famously brave prince: Vaeyr Ithen. A powerful noblewoman has captured Avartes Alendor to put an end to his crimes, and Elric Fay is free from his kidnapper's clutches. Not all is as well as it seems, though. Silloen, grieved by her boundless loss and tragedy, travels north toward the nation's capital city, hellbent on revenge. Strange entities whisper in her ears, urging her to destroy all who have wronged her. She is torn between finding her brother and stopping the liars and thieves that have weaved her life into a living torment. Elric, though free from the bastard who took him in the first place, has found himself in the hands of a new captor: Prince Vaeyr has locked Elric away in the dungeons and kept him secret from the public. He knows not what fate awaits him, or why such a betrayal came from the royalty of his own country. Lastly, another soul, betrayed by royals and criminals alike, finds himself grouped with the former Princess Ala Alendor and other unscrupulous folks in order to avenge the man he loved. There may look to be peace in the kingdom, but a web of lies and deceit is all that hides the coming flames.
