The once-verdant kingdom of Heldemar is dying. A creeping Blight has ravaged the land, rotting crops and twisting creatures into vicious horrors. Now the Blight's foul heart beats in the lightless catacombs far below the capital city. But when an ancient relic is unearthed that may hold the key to the Blight's demise, one unlikely hero emerges to lead a desperate quest into darkness. Drehar Lurhuea bears the tainted legacy of a bloodline cursed for unleashing this plague upon the realm. Now the last survivor of his fallen house, he is sworn to reclaim his family's honor and banish the Blight forever. Accompanied by a fellowship of brave souls including Kersa, a gifted healer, and Cathal, a grizzled veteran warrior, Drehar ventures into the stygian ruins under the capital on a quest to destroy the Blight at its source. But nightmarish creatures and labyrinthine tunnels teeming with horrific entities are not their greatest threat. Within the darkness, Drehar grapples with the living legacy of his ancestors' sins and faces the icy shadows clutching at his own soul. Only by embracing the light within and renouncing the pull of inborn corruption will Drehar finally conquer the spreading Blight. In this breathtaking tale of redemption against impossible odds, one man's courage and sacrifice may bring salvation to a kingdom on the brink. Evil rises from its ancient dwelling deep in the earth, but shall it prevail against true honor?
