*This is an except from the Prologue and Chapter 1.*
Thirteen years ago, the lands of Kronea were embroiled in war.
The Sorcerer King, Warrick Volung, killed thousands of innocent men and elves with his sorcery, and the powerful Runeblade, forged by the God of Light Tuireann himself... When it was created, the blade was a weapon of good. But it was warped by Warrick’s evil soul, and his worship of his God: the Arch-Demon Morak.
The people of the lands, the last of the Elves, the Mages & Paladins of Seran Drakis, and the Rangers Guild united to stop the King. They defeated his army, and took the Runeblade, and broke it in two. Warrick was forced to retreat to his homeland, and has hid there ever since.
Now Kronea is relatively peaceful. Even with peace, there are still monsters in the shadows: human and humanoid alike. To keep order, the Rangers Guild seek them out, and deal with them accordingly.
Stefan Rickardson is one of the best Rangers. He always gets the mission done, no matter the cost. When he's sent on a quest to stop yet another person, he thinks it's the same as every other mission... But the further he goes on the hunt, the more Stefan starts to question his orders. Especially when the person he's after isn't evil.
Meanwhile, a greater evil is stirring up again, and will push Stefan to his emotional and psychological limits... And it will break him, and everyone around him.
Wills will be tested… And blood will be spilled.
