A region divided by blood and betrayal. A darkness that threatens to rise once more.
Darius Rarkez, Prince of Vlencia, was on the brink of becoming an elite knight of the Crimson Guard when he was harshly exiled. Against the odds, he survived the ordeal of his banishment and took refuge amidst a guild of notorious thieves in neighbouring Elron.
For ten agonising summers, he swapped his study of the sword for the art of stealing, but now Darius wants out of Estos altogether. To start anew somewhere far away from his troubled past and present. However, such freedom requires gold—and lots of it.
So, when the guild faces its most daring and lucrative raid yet, Darius seeks the foresight of a banished seer. What he receives, instead, is a chilling prophecy. One that foretells war, devastation, and the revival of an ancient enemy long considered dead.
The sky gods have marked him as their vanguard, but will Darius forgo his shot at a new life to help the very kingdom that discarded him?
