"Imagine knowing something, knowing it so well that it's burned deep into your gut. You'd question your own name before you questioned this. And then...one day...the whole world changes, and you know nothing."
——
Having fled the defeat at the Green Gulch, Darius and Jerico, believing themselves the last two paladins of their kind, must separate once more in order to survive. While Jerico rushes to the aid of Lord Arthur and the siege at his Castle of Caves, Darius travels east, determined to remove the bounty on his head. But on his way, he encounters a young priest following an older way of faith, whose desire for their return will risk destruction upon all the North.
