Synopsis
Once a fabled Blade of Namara, Aral Kingslayer fought for justice and his goddess alongside his familiar, a living shadow called Triss. Now with their goddess murdered and her temple destroyed, they are among the last of their kind.

Until a mysterious woman hires him to deliver a secret message-one that can either redeem him or doom him.
