Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions  of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. 

With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating  inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events threatening to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.
