Malthus Vane, a 52-year-old mercenary with a ruthless reputation, accepts a small fortune to escort 14-year-old Elysia Thorne to distant Dunmire. Once a respected commander who deserted after royal betrayal, he now lives by a simple code: trust no one, complete the contract, survive. The merchant claims his daughter's mysterious birthmark marks her as heir to a powerful, supposedly extinct noble house.
Beneath her fierce independence, Elysia hides extraordinary gifts—trained in forbidden arcanistry and bladework, she can communicate with spectral remnants haunting the blighted lands. As her powers grow stronger during their journey, Malthus discovers she may be connected to the very calamity that destroyed his former life, while Elysia suspects her gruff protector knows more about her true identity than he reveals.
