“I didn’t follow you—you came to me.”
Ian Gloucester, a paladin from the religious nation of Derwin, secretly investigates the source of unsettling rumors for Cardinal Heron, the man who took him in as a child. Whispers spread that Arcaia, a powerful nation bound by a peace treaty, is preparing for war.
During his mission, Ian crosses paths with Sol, a stranger who shares his rare abilities. As he digs deeper, Ian uncovers a dark truth—human trafficking thrives in the shadows of his own country. Though he instinctively sees Sol as a threat and tries to stay away, fate keeps pulling them together.
Meanwhile, Ian discovers that the King of Arcaia isn’t recruiting elite knights for war, as the rumors suggest—he’s searching for someone specific. The real purpose behind it all remains shrouded in mystery.
