Thousands of years after the war of the ancients, a single bastion of
human life survives - The Vale. And at its core the magnificent city of
Troi. Here the mana flows from the great power station, bringing light
and life to all. It is a beacon of hope in a sick and dying world. But
all is not as it appears. Even as the Order of High Mages seeks to cure
the land, sinister forces move to gain absolute control over The Vale
and its citizens.
Drake Sharazi, disgraced Royal Guard turned bounty hunter, has been
exiled from Troi to the surrounding provinces, where resources are
limited and starvation is commonplace. It is in this squalor and poverty
he believes he shall spend his remaining days. But after years of labor
and suffering, he has been given the chance to go home; to return to the
life he has longed for since the moment he left his beloved city.
But he quickly discovers that the life he desires is built on a
foundation of lies. Now he must choose between what is right and what is
easy. But what is right could cost more than he is willing to pay. And
to save his home, he might have to destroy it...and all he has ever
loved.
