As a young prince, Erique rebelled against the idea of becoming a leader. He wanted to study religion and so left the highlands of his homeland Umbria to enroll in a foreign warrior monastery. Years later news arrives that his older brother, Atrum, the ruler of the Shoutte clan has been murdered. Now the newly ordained cleric has no choice but to return and assume the royal mantel of Shoutte of Shoutte. But Erique doesn't do so alone, as the redheaded Arinna Cabal, the daughter of his sage teacher, volunteers to accompany him.

What awaits them is mystery, bloodshed and treachery as the prodigal prince will discover all of the highland clans are threatened by a mysterious foe capable of using dark magic against them. And it will fall on him to uncover this enemy before total destruction befalls them all.
