Ventren, a colossal Merrow mercenary, is betrayed by the very comrades he once called friends. Left broken amid the ruins of an ancient fortress, his body bleeding out beside the corpse of his loyal horse. Ventren was left abandoned to die alone.

Death however, does not claim him.

A reclusive witch intervenes, bestowing upon him a blessing. Ventren rises again as a Dullahan unbeknownst to him, bound to wander the world eternally as her vassal, his existence tethered to her will. 

Driven by loss, fury and an unquenchable hunger for vengeance, Ventren sets out to hunt the traitors who condemned him. Yet his path is anything but simple. As he moves through the Kingdom of Valkraun, the realm itself fractures—political upheaval, civil unrest, revolts, imperial threats and religious schisms tear the land apart. Caught between his master’s demands and a kingdom on the brink of war, Ventren must decide whether he is merely an instrument of wrath… or something far greater.
