A strange darkness grows in Allward。

Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it， tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea。

She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineage—and the last hope to save the world from destruction。 But she won’t be alone。 Even as darkness falls， she is joined by a band of unlikely companions:

A squire， forced to choose between home and honor。
An immortal， avenging a broken promise。
An assassin， exiled and bloodthirsty。
An ancient sorceress， whose riddles hide an eerie foresight。
A forger with a secret past。
A bounty hunter with a score to settle。

Together they stand against a vicious opponent， invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash， and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed。
