Elyon Daecar was born to greatness — and has spent his life avoiding it.

As the second son of the First Blade, commander of the famed Varin Knights, Elyon inherited the skill, the name, and the reputation. Responsibility, however, belongs to his older brother. Elyon is content to win tourneys, drink with soldiers, and pursue a princess he absolutely should not be pursuing.

But while Elyon plays at heroism, the world is already changing.

In the northlands of Tukor, a servant girl named Saska watches her village unravel when a ruthless lord begins taking boys for a distant war. High in the mountains, a hidden order dispatches an assassin, armed with a forbidden blade and a name known across the realm.

Their lives have nothing in common.

Until they do.

As armies gather and old powers stir, Elyon is finally forced to face the life he has spent years escaping — not glory, not tourneys, but command, sacrifice, and war.

Because the day is coming when Vandar will need a hero.

And Elyon may not be ready to become one.
