What the gods give with one hand, they take away with the other, for if you are gifted, you shall also be cursed.'

If you enjoy dark fantasy with a twist of light romance, believable magic, and heroes that are at times more demonic than the evil they face, then this tale is for you. 

-----

Over fifty years have passed since Daleth the seemingly immortal Witch-King, and his army conquered the Ember Kingdom. 

Now, with the once fertile lands and its enslaved people dying around him, the Witch-King, driven by his insatiable thirst for eternal youth, prepares his forces to march on the prosperous neighbouring Free states. It will be the beginnings of a conquest that could destroy nations, bringing death and destruction on an unimaginable scale. 

Then, when a peasant huntress whose rare gift was concealed from birth is exposed, it sets in motion a chain of events that could alter the destiny of generations to come.
