Where there is war, there are ravens.

The duchy of Peylan has known its share of both. Its cities stand, its borders hold — but the peace has always felt borrowed, and the debt is coming due.

A mercenary wakes on a battlefield with no memory of who he fought for or why. A mage begins piecing together a conspiracy that reaches back a century. A half-elf captain pursues a ghost that has haunted her for most of her life. And a young royal messenger, riding between crumbling cities with letters that may decide the fate of thousands, is trying not to forget the girl he left behind.

The living dead are walking the plains. Strange fires burn in the mountains. And something far older and more patient than any army is moving in the shadows.
