Lord Hilentra is expanding his territory into the foothills of the Broken Spine mountains. His garrison at the new village of Stonehold has laid waste to villages populated by Tandrites, a culture that has mined these foothills for generations.
Hilentra relies on Bismarten, the Warden of Stonehold, to lead his troops against these small villages. One of Bismarten’s men, Dovokar, was unable to follow orders to slaughter villagers at Granite Town. Nicknamed “Backstep” because he retreats from battle, Dovokar now finds himself on the receiving end of a slaughter.
Saluvaunt, a miner mortally wounded by Bismarten’s men, survived long enough for three mountain witches to find him among the dead. They offered him vengeance against Hilentra and his brutal warden, Bismarten. Dying, with nothing left to lose, Saluvaunt accepted.
The witches initiated a dark ritual—one meant to turn a grieving man into something far worse.
