For the past six months the Knights of Mendolon, along with the kingdom's soldiers, have been tracking down the escaped prisoners from the Savage's prison release. Led by the young, skilled knight Corbeau, the knights have been making great progress at capturing the prisoners.
Mendolon's chief knight, Michael de Bolbec, has spent the past six months resting and recovering from the skirmish with the Savage. It is then that Michael gets an urgent call from King Sebastian that his advisor Hector has been secretly looking for a prisoner among those who have escaped. Michael is intrigued since most of the prisoners were common criminals that he had captured specifically. Things begin to spiral out of control as Michael soon learns there is something strangely unusual about this escaped prisoner and a deeper plot lies beneath the surface.
