The Shadow Warrior

Bence Brechenhad is the sole survivor of the infamous

Aeonian army. His fear of Deranian justice drives him

to flee the country, abandoning his only companion,

Queen Isabel, without so much as a good-bye. Bence

leaves with Isabel’s ring and a black pearl with one

goal in mind: to find a new home and a fresh start.

Throughout his adventures over rough seas and

maze-like woods, the sins of his past lurk around

every corner. When Bence reaches the country of

Irelle, he rescues a baby Dunya, jeopardizing his

chances of acceptance into their clan.

Meanwhile, Isabel tries to fulfill her new role as

queen. She is fully invested in rebuilding her

kingdom, and funds her people's short-lived peace

until a man she thought was dead and a banished

Healer appear on her steps.

Their arrival seems to prompt a string of murders

cascading through Deran. Each victim is branded

with the Aeonian mark, and Isabel’s kingdom is

inevitably sucked back into a vortex of violence

and turmoil.

The winds whisper to Bence, calling him back to

Deran. Will he have the courage to confront his

past and fight alongside Isabel once more?
