The throne is bloodied. The city is empty. The kingdom beyond is dead and quiet. A peasant thief creeps forth from where she has been hiding, bitter and determined to survive. A young nobleman sets out, with plots and secrets as his armor, to save what is left of his family. A holy knight burdened by failure descends from the mountains to defend the realm. And all across this land so dark and full of nightmares, monstrous things watch from the shadows.
