In a land steeped in shadow and despair, Nolon, a swordsman broken by poverty, casts a desperate wish into the Whispering Lake. He seeks the honor of knighthood, a shield against a life of endless struggle. But the lake holds a darker promise: the spectral Mistress of the Dawn's Edge, a vengeful ghost bound by centuries of betrayal. She offers Nolon his heart's desire, but only if he becomes the instrument of her chilling retribution. As Nolon delves into the decaying secrets of a noble house, he uncovers a truth more sinister than he could ever imagine, a grim pact that binds the living and the dead, and a knighthood forged in blood and eternal servitude. In this world, vengeance is a currency, and the price of a wish might just be Nolon's very soul. The lake does not grant. It keeps.
