Synopsis
A band of five young knights departs from a great city named Dullwater, and all but one of them never return. The chronicles of this band stretch from country to river, desert to sea, a tale of a spiral from heroism into violence, obsession, and madness. Set in a world cast in political turmoil, technological progression, and mysterious past, the young knights must face along their journey a strange man known in legend as The Drifter, a looming and mysterious tower of fable, a rising rebellion, and their own natures.
