History will always lie. An inevitability that is etched in the memory of the world itself. The tides of war will always be set in stone yet floats and sways in the currents of time. Those who win over the garden shall see the world of a new age, different from the ones of gods and heroes. Those who nurture the garden should not fall prey to its beauty, lest they will be swallowed by its lies. In the land of Eddan, broken gods, fickle empires, and supernatural transgressions rule over the continent. In this twisted land, nothing is sacred-least of all the truth. Allendis the lowly mercenary did not think his fate could get any worse. He did not know what destiny has in store for him but he must find a way to survive the horrors of the world.

But with the rise of unspeakable powers and ancient threats, she vows to do anything to protect her family and break the shackles of fear and the influence of forces beyond in order to usher in the Age of Man. Two paths-one forged by survival, the other by duty-are destined to collide. But in this Garden of Lies, they are not the only players who walk different paths.
