The cataclysm began over a century ago when the King of Ayr died without naming an heir, plunging the realm into chaos. The ruthless ambitions of the Renne and Wills families, each vying for power, have led to generations of hatred and discord. Toren Renne, the troubled leader of his house, yearns for peace, but his noble aspirations ignite hostility among his kin and invite deadly plots against him. Meanwhile, Elise Wills faces an unwanted marriage to a sinister lord, crushing her desire for freedom. The noble intrigues are not confined to the elite; they impact the lives of common folk, ensnaring an unsuspecting young Valeman, Tam, and his fortune-seeking friends from the North in a web of danger. As Toren strives to unite the rival houses, treachery abounds, with nobles and mystics conspiring to maintain division, knowing that their power thrives in turmoil. The roots of this suffering may lie in the past, tied to an ancient enchanter named Wyrr, whose dark gifts have cursed his descendants. It is this malevolent sorcery that binds the land and its people, and before the kingdom can heal, all of Ayr may be engulfed in bloodshed.
