Long before men mined gold and silver in the Old West, Beau grew up in a beautiful land in the east filled with magic and light and the joy of living. A beautiful green land Beau's elvish kin had sworn to protect.
Then men arrived from across the great ocean. Greedy, evil men intent on conquering the New World and enslaving its magic for their own purposes.
Centuries later, Beau pursues the last of the enslavers who'd fled to the west to escape elvish justice. Always hiding his true nature from the men he encounters along the way, Beau carries out his sworn duty.
Punish the guilty.
Release the innocent.
Destroy the insane.
Even if that means he must destroy his oldest childhood friend.
