Banished from his homeland, Loth is a barbarian warrior wandering as a violent sellsword down paths paved in blood. But when Loth discovers an oppressed people rising to defy tyranny, convictions long-forgotten are unearthed.
Throwing his mighty sword alongside struggling rebels, Loth embraces the role of freedom fighter to redeem his tarnished name. Yet liberating Ravenskar from sorcerous despots demands more than bellowing courage and pitiless steel against gathering foes. Armies are marshaled through camaraderie and sacrifice, virtues bitter to scarred vagabonds knowing only solitary gain.
Malevolent shadows thought mere myths now ooze into fearsome reality threatening the shred of fellowship Loth clutches. As predatory horrors amass joined by Death's own grinning legions, the wandering warrior must prove disgraced souls can backstep from oblivion’s brink and stand fast. For few alone and scorned have ever turned aside destiny’s sweeping tide armed only with bloodied regret and yearning for absolution long-forsaken...
To a lone hero often branded the very face of unworthiness, no redemption may shine brighter now than righteous deliverance wrought for populations long-oppressed. Yet still damnation croons its siren song to hopeless ears, promising all kneeling in abject fealty swift surcease from cares no flesh can supposedly bear...
So thus Loth the Unworthy must choose on which agonizing path to dare fate's judgment once more. Will newfound conviction plunge north grimly toward freedom beckoning down sword-lined lanes? Or does familiar, knife-edged southward wandering pine instead while banished feet tread endless bleak leagues wrapped in failure's wedding shroud?
