Wrath of the Broken One begins the story, when Garret is rescued from certain death by a mysterious Thyrean assassin who apparently has a price on his own head. Garret's new mentor, Etanos, will teach him not only the tricks of the trade, but the skills that will eventually earn him the nickname Scorpion.
However, he will also learn the most important lesson of all; that no matter how skilled the warrior, there is always someone better—especially among those who are born of darkness.
