Recompense for a Lost Soul

With his parents presumed dead or missing and with no one to care for him, a nameless infant was sold into a ruthless group of mercenaries where he suffered for ten years of his life before escaping and vanishing from the world. Four years later a rumor surfaces about a swordsman who wanders from place to place, dressed in black, who fights with sword and magic. It is said that he seldom associates with anyone and moves from guild to guild, never staying in one place for too long. Hounded by trauma from the killers who raised him, he distances himself from other people and had become closed off from society.

That is until an encounter with a girl gives him the opportunity to do more in life as he learns to make friends, open up to people, and even find love. His experiences will take him to the capital of the Ifraeygerian empire, across forgotten wastes and into decrepit tombs and ruins as he unearths a hidden secret buried deep within the ground. But the shadows whisper as his enemies; old and new, crawl out to destroy him and everything he has started to love...
