Ullurawn is the premier monster slayer of the Azure Order. He is known the world over as ‘the Creator’s Shadow,’ famous for his unrivaled sorcery and limitless control over darkness. Yet, despite his overwhelming strength, he is powerless to break the curse that has haunted him for decades. Blood stains his every step. Death looms always at his back. He can only run as others succumb to the blight in his place. A dreadful existence. Is a peaceful life, one free of the endless bloodshed, possible? Perhaps, but only through the power of an inheritor—an enigmatic sage rumored to wield righteous power.

With one last chance at salvation, Ullurawn infiltrates the Iron Republic of Azbar in search of a rogue inheritor. But matters grow complicated as Azbar stands locked in a bitter civil war. Chaos erupts on all sides. Worse, Ullurawn is not alone. Legions of world-shifting knights have descended upon the Iron Republic. Each hunts the inheritor for their own ends, endangering the lives of all within the war-torn country.

Confronting Azbar’s plight, can Ullurawn defy his curse and fight for a brighter future? Or will he be content leaving the republic to its certain demise, should he be freed from his chains?
