Description
A drifter on a quest for fortune and a holy warrior who lives for honor...
The plains of Vanda are harsh and unforgiving. Kasta Krane, a hardened treasure hunter, rides this desolate land in search of her next big score. A wealthy collector hires her to seek out Vellon’s Blade, a legendary weapon said to have the power to reshape the world.
To aid in her quest, the collector assigns Sir Dresco Norte, a devout holy warrior sworn to restore honor to his fallen order. The odd duo quarrel as they navigate the wilds on their journey. For Kasta is not in the business of fairytales, and Dresco seeks more than lost riches.
But ruthless rivals converge on their trail, determined to claim the blade’s power for themselves. Their quest draws the attention of a vengeful enemy from Kasta’s past who will stop at nothing to see her dead.
Deeper in the wastes, ancient terrors await in the ruins of the old world. The hunter and the knight must overcome these threats and their distaste for one another if they are to survive.
