In a world built on lies, one must find truth in the shadows.
The monumental struggle between darkness and light is unknown to Fox, whose life never gave respite to ponder it. His is another kind of struggle, and he never thought he would escape the clutches of fate’s unfair allotment. Alone and destitute, all he has to his name is rot and whatever he steals, constituting a brutal and unforgiving existence. However, everything changes when he meets a legend, a shadow of an obscured past—a man named Blake Waelgryre. This encounter opens a floodgate of unrelenting change, opening his eyes to a world he never knew and a life beyond all imagination. But nothing is free, and no adventure is without peril. And the truth, brought by those whose burden is to know it, can bring forth more terror than the most frightening of nightmares. In rediscovering himself, and the very nature of the world he thought beyond his reach, Fox will find himself cast into a tempest that was destined to be his, by blood and fortune.
