The grove was sacred.
But now, no longer.
Corpses lie along the land, their faces frozen in silent screams of anguish and torment, the smell of blood, metallic and coppery, tarnishing the once fresh, earthy aroma of the peaceful woods, the mystical creatures' home.
In Vael'thalor, a kingdom of immortal legacy and dying truth, Elessara - a half-human, half-elven knight- uncovers something she was never meant to see: a massacre drenched in illusion, lies carved to look like truth, and orders that demand silence over honor.
A decision must be made, hastily.
Will you stand with your kin, place a hand on top of theirs, and disregard all morality towards a kind you have been raised to despise...
Or, must you open an eye to the sheer insanity of the council's orders?
Elessara Thaelvir, Captain of the second regiment, is stirred into making a decision, one that has her teetering between the two worlds to which she, seemingly, never belongs.
