In the fractured realm of Ytheril, where the Arcane Syndicate’s laws are a gilded cage and the Unbound’s freedom is a poisoned chalice, survival depends on walking the knife’s edge—and no one balances there more deftly than Erevain Duskwood.

A Mage-born ranger of the Whispering Woods, he owes allegiance to neither banner. He has seen the rot of corruption fester behind the Syndicate’s polished facade and recognized the genocidal zeal burning in the Unbound’s hearts. His only cause is the truth, his only army the shadows. He moves like a wisp of vengeance, protecting the innocent—especially the Blank-Souled—from the crossfire of a war they did not choose.

Trust him, and you gain a protector whose loyalty, once earned, is as deep as the forest roots. Cross him, and you will never hear the arrow that finds you. In a world demanding you pick a side, Erevain is the dangerous, necessary third option—a man who believes in justice more than he believes in any flag.
