The Mournful King

"We are only as sick as our secrets."

As the embers of strife settle, the Silent is used to his life as a menial laborer, drifting from town to town. He carries a dark secret: the leash of a demon around his soul that remains no matter how far he runs. Suffering under the thumb of the elder fiend Gader'el and his dark master, the Silent has resigned himself to a life of torment and servitude. But when the brand burns and the malevolent whispers begin to fill his mind at a chance encounter, his fate is inexorably bound to that of a strange western woman who has come to settle a debt and finish what was begun in the ashes of the First World.
