Oma-Var, the land of magic, mystery and living legends. A land of great kings, wise queens and fierce warriors. But now the Fourth Age has arrived, the age of gunpowder! Swords and shields are augmented by wheelock pistols and brass cannon; chainmail and steel helmets have given way to silk uniforms and gold braid and the iron clad knight has become a poet-soldier. Wars, however still rage through the land and are bloodier than ever. Captain Druin Hoyt and his 'Company of Gentlemen' are hired to rescue the beautiful Phillipa Harkon, the Duke's daughter; a simple enough task for Hoyt and his mercenaries —- but then things go amiss, as things so often do and the road back to 'daddy' becomes a very dangerous one.
