For thousands of years, the whole world arced toward a Final Battle, a conflict between the two greatest gods that would decide the fate of everything. But the Final Battle came, and went, and shook the world, and at the end of it all, both gods fell. The world was left broken and unclaimed. Now, magic is a powerful poison, and those left standing search for purpose in the remnant whispers of their dead gods. Now, years after the crumbling dust has settled, Dallen Osterval, the last knight of Callia, wanders the cracked lands of the old Empyre, searching to escape the demons of his past. He carries a tattered cloak, the chipped sword of his old Duke, and a strange arm of smooth, unbreakable metal. And when he stops for a drink in a small, crumbling town in the middle of nowhere, he finds that his name and title is the only thing that brings the townspeople hope. But hope always has a cost.
