The last thing Jylen, a rogue who conducted stealth missions for the king, wanted, was to suffer a crisis of conscience. Tasked with putting an end to the attacks on the city of Shadas, he had gathered a ragtag band of colourful characters from around the world and set out on his mission, only to discover that he might have erred in judgement and found himself on the wrong side of history.
With their world threatened by the terrifying machinations of a secretive society dating back thousands of years, he and his party must now uncover who the real enemy is, and how to stop them. No easy task, especially for Jylen, haunted by mistakes both past and recent as he struggles to find a sense of purpose and worth. And then there is Rosepin, the strong and compassionate nordswoman who unexpectedly stole his heart and cracked his veneer from the moment they met.
The added complications of love, loss, and guilt only compound Jylen’s struggle. He must now unravel his tangled thoughts and emotions, confront his unconscious biases, and find a path to redemption.
