On the eastern edge of the continent of Eolis sits a small town named Eldryss, where life is intentionally slow and simple. When Eldryss is wracked by a plague that crept slowly over the horizon, its people are completely annihilated, except for one—the fifteen-year-old daughter of the town’s only tavernkeeper.Forced to flee north on her own for survival, Ilde arrives in the city of Isonwood battered, tired, and barely suppressing the trauma she endured at the hands of unknown forces. She finds solace in the repurposed temple of the forgotten god, Mersari, and seeks shelter with the city’s most notorious mercenary. With a faith founded through scorn and strength earned through years of practice, Ilde grows up and leaves Eldryss and its darkness behind.Seven years later, Ilde has learned how to swing a blade, but the need for vengeance still sits in the back of her mind. With the help of an unexpected ally, Ilde begins searching for answers. But when word reaches Isonwood about another city being annihilated, Ilde digs deep into her faith and sets out on a quest to discover what happened to Mersari, who is responsible for the death of her people, and why she is the only one left.
