Dynami is a war steed trained to the highest standards of the brotherhood of dark servants of the Lord of Night. His purpose in life is to fight the monstrous creatures of the Goddess of Chaos, the enemy of all things that live and enjoy free will.

His rider is a young priest determined to do his part in the war, but most Strazi die young. Dynami swears that they'll be different, that they'll beat the odds stacked against them.

Dynami comes under scrutiny from the Thezi high priest, who senses there's something different about him, but different in A'filozenoi is rarely a benefit.

With war and chaos all about, will Dynami stay true to himself or will the cold hands of death cause him to fall prey to despair?
