In all the kingdoms of Shar'Ahnur there is no creature so despised as the shadewight, a direct descendent of one of the three gods of death. Shadewights are ostracized and discriminated against in the most extreme way. Carnage Harrow Onyxwayn Arskyn Sorrowfell and his sister Lully Harrow Crescentcare Daysin Sorrowfell are two such creatures. After witnessing a premonition of war, Carnage makes his way to the capital of the Arcslayn kingdom in obligation to uphold a pact with the king. Upon his return to his home, Carnage finds his sister kidnapped and his mother dying. It is up to Carnage and an unlikely new ally to save his sister, prevent a war, and perhaps save the world and find a measure of acceptance from the world.
