Kretowa: A land where steel is worth more than gold. A land where skill with a blade commands more respect than family name. A land where none of its inhabitants have known a time of peace. A land where ancient beasts roam the wilds and where mighty dragons slumber... for now. For hundreds of years, two families have fought for the throne of this beautiful and violent land, but the people who dwell here are on the precipice of change. A young woman struggles to learn who she is, while a boy learns what it means to be a man. Three brothers fight to regain their family's honor, and a young noble fears the downfall of his family. The allegiances of leaders and their armies are tested as two great warriors are driven to do what they were born to do: fight on the field of battle and see who will put an end to The Age of Anguish?
