A boy who was once a slave becomes a mercenary, driven by the desire for power so he can live as he wishes, love as he chooses, and pursue his own dreams. Yet, he knows little about the world he inhabits-the darkness that shrouds it. Will he overcome this darkness to achieve his dream, or will he give in to it to get what he wants? Which path will he choose, and where will it lead him? In the face of vast, unforgiving forces, will he survive? Could he be the catalyst that changes reality? Will he bring an end to this world, or will he shatter the darkness and welcome a new dawn?
