Lorne Earrach's father taught her how to fight with a sword, though he hoped she'd never have need of one. He brought her out to the Fringe the day she was born in hopes of delivering her from the ceaseless strife of the kingdoms' endless wars. However, battlefields have a tendency to bleed beyond their borders. When Lorne's life is entirely uprooted by the aftershocks of one such war, she and her friends must venture into the corpse of a fallen kingdom if they're to have any hope of reclaiming what little home is still within their reach. Though, the fires of vengeance burning in Lorne's heart seem to devour her more and more with each swing of her father's hulking blade. A consumption which unearths and awakens something buried deep within her blood...

When King Hiram passed away, Lydia the magical kingdom was forever changed. His son, Elmer Kalos the First, is afraid to step into the unknown and ignores his uncle's actions as the new king.

Amidst the chaos, lost souls wander the kingdoms, yearning for freedom. Their only hope is to tell the story of the good king, who once brought peace to Lydia.
