Marschal's down on his luck. He's a remnant of a fallen empire that once spanned several conquered nations. Now he's forced to struggle through day-to-day life with too many enemies on his tail. But all that changes when a stranger offers to grant him what he wants most. But at a price. For there is a mysterious lady who's looking to embark on a mysterious quest and she needs companions to help her accomplish it. A wiser man would have refused. But beggars can't be choosers. And Marschal is about to learn that maybe not all adventures are taken by heroes.
