Anaran, a strange man with even stranger motives, lives his miserable life on Malkor as a Pact Warden. As one of twenty-one Wardens, his job is to fulfill any Death Wish made, that is, the dying request of an individual. One such Death Wish demands he protect a young girl, Nebolly, from the world and its evils, but every person Anaran has ever been with has been killed. His wife, daughter, best friend. All murdered with an arrow through the heart and a note. I control you.
