A nameless child is rescued from the claws of a monster and left in the care of the Riverfolk, an isolated nation of hunter-warriors who have been at war against a dark enemy for over three centuries. An orphan girl with inhuman might is adopted into a royal family, becoming a princess, a knight, and a powerful leader of men. Proud and unyielding, she lives in constant fear of her true, and possibly monstrous, nature. An old wielder of magic and his young apprentice hunt dark creatures through the wilderness. Driven by curiosity and duty, they draw ever closer to a darkness that leaves death and decay in its wake. A wandering monk seeks honor and wisdom among lands deemed barbaric by her people. Although youthful and trusting, she is a living weapon, honed by a lifetime of commitment to the martial and spiritual philosophies of The Way. A secretive swordsman is sent on a mission far beyond his forest home. He wields a sword crafted from fey magic, an indestructible blade that binds him to the spirit of his homeland and to a pact that compels him to destroy the enemies of his embattled people. Shadows begin to surround them all, and the blood of heroes will flow…
