Ys is a powder keg waiting to blow.

Torin, Khan of the Kin, is struggling—with his duties of leadership and his burgeoning feelings for Rune, the Steward of Ys and owner of a downtrodden tea house. His real challenges mount when a plague starts claiming lives, causing panic and blame to spread like wildfire.

Forced to collaborate, Torin and Rune delve into ancient secrets to find a cure, but the Sorrowshade, a malevolent force fostered by betrayal and dark magic, has its own devastating agenda. Emerging from Rune's wild lands, it poses an even graver threat.

Joined by a motley team comprised of a sassy gang lord, strait-laced Guard, a badass librarian wielding the weapon of knowledge, and a treacherous former Sentinel turned mercenary, Bekkr, Torin and Rune embark on a perilous journey to battle the Sorrowshade and unravel the plague's origins.

The cost of power is steep, and the path is paved with sacrifice—and a legion of undead.

Warning: profanity and violence.
