The end of the great war does not mean the end of the bloodshed. When the battle rage subsides, former comrades-in-arms become new enemies and revenge becomes the meaning of existence.
Nira, a scout in the Maeid Expeditionary Force and a veteran of the brutal conflict, is betrayed by her closest people. She is saved from death by Harlan – a convict who wears symbols of all the crimes committed. Together, they follow a trail of bloody vengeance that will lead them to the ancient kingdom and beyond – deep beneath its surface.
Only in deep darkness will they find light and relief.
