I served as the Master of the Order of the Guards—one of the most powerful, the bearer of the rarest Gift, unmatched by anyone. For the sake of that power, I took an oath and paid the price—not everyone can bear it. But one day, I learned a truth I shouldn’t have touched, and those I trusted without question—companions, comrades, brothers of the Order—turned against me, blinded by lies. In the most merciless battle for the truth I’ve ever faced, I fell.
The head of the Order hoped this would break me, but he miscalculated: I clung to the whirlpool of souls and wouldn’t let him swallow me. Now I’ve awakened in a different world and in someone else’s body—and yet I will return to finish what I started.
