The victory over the Soultaker fractured the Knights Eternal. Shade has
broken his vows, abandoning his brothers to trek over the northern
mountains in search of a god. Instead, he finds Darkenwood, a sprawling
hamlet in an isolated valley, populated with strange creatures trapped
in an endless cycle of oppression. His desire to free them from their
shackles sends him on another journey, one that will test his faith in
humanity. Meanwhile, Meesh is stuck trying to acclimate the strange new
Abednego to the violent world of the Wasteland. It's a task he isn't
prepared to do on his own. To make matters worse, a new riddle from Old
Crone tells him that they have to find Shade...and kill him. Three
brothers on a collision course with fate. But is man's fate shaped by
outside forces, or their own free will? That's the question they need to
answer, even if the truth shatters the very foundation of their
existence.
