Never trust the promise of a dragon.
Emethius Lunen is learning that lesson the hard way. Emethius is the commander of the Red Company, the most elite lancer corp in Merridia. He has spent his life serving the royal family. But his oath is challenged when the Crown Prince attempts to overthrow the High Lord, forcing Emethius defend the royal family from itself.
Most assume that Prince Meriatis longs for power, but Emethius has his own dark theory. He believes the prince is afflicted by the Blackheart, a sickness that causes its victims to slowly lose their mind to an ancient deity known as the Shadow. Torn by his friendship to Prince Meriatis and his loyalty to the High Lord, Emethius doesn't know what to do.
But when a mysterious dragon named Ftoril offers Emethius a way to save both the prince and the realm, Emethius can't refuse the offer. Ftoril claims to know of a sorceress who can cure the Blackheart. The only problem - the sorceress has gone into hiding in the fallen Empire of Cella, a place where the madness of the Blackheart runs rampant and nightmarish creatures known as the Cul reign supreme. The dragon promises to guide Emethius to the sorceress, that is, if Emethius is willing to betray both the High Lord and his gods.
