Synopsis
In the war-torn ruins of Eldoria, Jack Ashton, a battle-hardened dragoon, awakens a divine gift that marks him as a Paladin of Solarus. Fleeing the Old World's decay, he rides into Sable Haven—a fragile frontier outpost besieged by undead hordes and savage Wildkin tribes. There, Sheriff and retired Templar Maxwell Alexander mentors Jack in Holy Magic, teaching him how to unleash radiant fury on ghouls and necromancers. He forges unbreakable bonds with the town's resilient women: the nurturing baker Bessie, fiery schoolteacher and swordswoman Rosaline, and more. But when ancient evil unites the Wildkin in a relentless siege against Sable Haven,, Jack must claim his destiny—or watch his new home fall to death and ruin.
