The kingdom of Lendia fell to its knees before a savage horde of nomads. Traitors become victors, while the remains of great warriors rot in the fields. Those who managed to survive hide in the forests like wild beasts. In the general chaos, sorcerers summon the old gods. And drunk on spilled blood, real monsters march onto the devastated land, while demons from the other side seize the souls of people and entire cities. Amid chaos and slaughter begins the story of Yax, a doomed-to-die warrior, cursed from birth by the deeds of his father and mother. It seems he has no chance in this endless chase—but fate keeps favoring him again and again. Only he doesn’t yet know that luck is never given for free, and that behind a chain of happy coincidences there is something far worse than any pursuit.
