Far to the south, Orvbel is the global hub of the slave trade. The immensely wealthy King Brun learns of the peasant girl's existence. He feels only one desire: to acquire her. But during her brief wandering, the teenager has formed a bond of friendship with Saalyn, the most famous free warrior in Helaria. This woman has already confronted the slave-trading city and nearly brought about its downfall. Having just recovered from trials that left her wounded and traumatized, Saalyn has resumed her investigations. Although she is not yet fully healed, she remains a formidable adversary. The king, therefore, must find a way to eliminate her, preferably in a permanent manner. A high-stakes contest begins between Saalyn and Brun, with the future of Deirane hanging in the balance.
Sixty years have passed since the war that ended the reign of tyrants. Civilization has managed to rebuild itself on the ruins, despite the persistence of pockets of chaos. Yet most of the continent remains deadly. Living on the edge of the habitable zone, Deirane was an unassuming teenager until a drow noticed her and decided to turn her into a work of art. After he marked her, she was forced to flee her village. However, she found love and safety in the arms of a young farmer. Through him, she built a new family, made new friends, and began a fresh chapter in life. But with her distinctive tattoo, she never went unnoticed. Far to the south, Orvbel, the global hub of the slave trade, came into play. The wealthy King Brun learned of the young peasant's existence. He became obsessed with one desire: to possess her. During her brief wanderings, however, Deirane had formed a bond with Saalyn, the most renowned free warrior of Helaria. This formidable woman had already clashed with the slaver city and nearly brought about its downfall. Recently recovering from trials that had left her injured and traumatized, Saalyn had only just resumed her investigations. Though not fully healed, she remained a fearsome opponent. The king realized he must find a way to eliminate her, preferably permanently. Thus began a rivalry between Saalyn and Brun, with nothing less than Deirane's future hanging in the balance.
