The Witcher and Shadow & Bone get thrown into an Arthurian blender to make a brutal and fascinating path for the new adult protagonist who must deal with grief, anger, and non-traditional romance, while training to wield something uniquely powerful in a new world. As he turns 20, Opren, a small-town butcher's son and amateur fighter raised in the world we know, discovers the golden sphere he inherited from his grandfather is really a coveted magical artifact from a parallel realm that grants the user powerful abilities. Ignited by the murder of his parents by frightening magical mercenaries, he follows the creatures to the realm of Everniot with the intent to learn magic and avenge his parents. Shortly after his arrival, he is rescued by an adventurous young Elven woman who becomes his guide; with her help, if he can survive dangerous training, his own impulses for vengeance, and the dark forces hunting his power long enough, he could become the next true warrior-wielder of the golden orb's legendary magic called the Goldlighter.
