It’s easy to be a hero when millions believe in your success, magicians give you an enchanted blade, and a loyal squadron accompanies you along the entire way.
But what if fate has arranged things so that you are forced to play the role of a villain? At every step you’re met with lies and betrayal; you don’t know who you can trust (and whether you can trust anyone at all?!), and whole nations want you dead. When your choice is limited to only two options: let yourself be killed, or become the person others see—and the person you don’t want to be. Drown the world in blood, or choke on it yourself?
Is there a third path? And if there is, will you have the strength to walk it?
