Six of the seven gods that once ruled the land are dead. Slaughtered by one of their own kind, these six deities fought alongside mankind in a desperate battle for survival. The Pale King was victorious against the humans, and has enslaved them to serve his twisted will. Mankind lives in fear and poverty. Constant sacrifices must be given to sate the Pale King, including human lives. The Death Mark is given randomly to those who reach their eighteenth birthday. If someone is marked, they must be sacrificed, or have their lives taken from them by force. August is a shepard in the small village of Trent. He despises the Pale King, blaming him for the death of his mother. As August's eighteenth birthday quickly approaches, he hopes to avoid being marked so he can marry the girl of his dreams, Sera. Sera shares a birthday with August, and fears the Death Mark more than the Pale King himself. As a lowly farm girl and the sole provider for her family, being marked would mean certain starvation for her loved ones. Fate and magic intertwine to give these two a birthday they will never forget, forcing them to flee from their homes in search of an ancient magic. With danger around every turn, August must balance protecting those he loves, and confornting the evil that desperately persues him.
"Ride now on the winds of fate,
Vanquish the throne, born by hate.
Lead the world with strength and love,
Brace yourself, the Herald comes."
