Strange rumors have reached the city of Farel, rumors of unexpected attacks and mysterious disappearances.  When Lord Hathian charges his son, Kian, to find the source of these rumors, Adan, a seventeen-year-old bodyguard, must honor his vows and accompany his best friend on a voyage north into the unknown to find the source of the rumors.  But rumors only share a passing resemblance to reality.  Adan’s loyalty is put to the test when they are attacked at sea and abducted by strange men with covered faces and spiked helmets. The two friends soon find themselves caught in a desperate struggle for hope and survival against a secret foe.  New chapters released once every Friday.
