Thief. Traitor. Murderer.

Her pleas forced Darren to confront Fitsengea's prophesied doom. The sadness in Iris's eyes dragged Darren out of hiding and into the jaws of a perilous journey. For a moment, she made him believe he could be more than his darkest shame. Now, Iris's screams haunt his dreams. Darren plunges ahead to free her from Yansair's bloodthirsty clutches.
