Being a sword for hire can sometimes have its downsides, like having to escort a very spoiled and obnoxious noble woman to her new husband. But meeting old friends is always nice except when that meeting leads to the discovery of horrors Kyall has barely ever seen the likes off. Add in a magician with quite a lot to hide, a prophecy given by death himself and a kingdom with some rather tragic events and you have a challenge not even one as experienced and tough as Kyall can hope to handle. The grim reaper is very busy, and time is running short, for if the enemy win this time even Gods will have to bow down.
