An exile of the city of Ereshire - a common fate for those of criminal pasts in Islen Garthen.

Corrin, a young man with powers that have tainted him since his youth, has long resigned himself to a life on the outskirts of the city he once called home.

His quiet, stagnant existence is thrown into disarray when his old home is burnt to ashes, leaving him to travel the road with a sole survivor holding secrets of her own.

However far they may travel in the pursuit of refuge, the past can never be left behind.
