The cataclysm began over a century ago when the King of Ayr died without naming an heir, plunging the kingdom into chaos. The ruthless conspiracies of the Renne and Wills families, each vying for power, led to generations of hatred and discord. Toren Renne, the troubled leader of his house, yearns for peace, yet his noble aspirations incite hostility among his kin and ignite deadly plots against him. Meanwhile, Elise Wills faces an unwanted marriage to a sinister lord, stifling her desire for freedom. The nobles’ schemes impact the common folk, ensnaring an unsuspecting young Valeman, Tam, and two fortune-seeking friends from the North in a deadly conflict. As Toren strives to unite the rival houses, treachery flourishes, with nobles and mystics conspiring to maintain division, knowing that their power thrives in turmoil. The roots of this endless suffering trace back to the old king's death and the legacy of an ancient enchanter named Wyrr, who bestowed cursed gifts upon his children, poisoning their lives and deaths. It is this dark past and malevolent sorcery that bind the land and its people, and before Ayr can heal, it may drown in bloodshed.
