A powerful spirit visited a dying Cassian Nightwater in the form of a shadow on the wall. It offered him a second chance at life, but this time he would have the power to become a warrior beyond what he could ever achieve as a mortal man. Tempted by the idea of being a great fighter, Cassian hastily accepted a pact with the shadow and in the morning discovered he was supernaturally gifted. Nearly a decade later and Cassian has become a travelling mercenary with a death wish and a knack for killing the monsters that most men can''''t. Meanwhile a plague outbreak is ravaging the country and Alistair, a bright minded alchemist, wants the sell-sword to help him in developing a cure. Together the pair will face dangerous foes and unsettling mysteries, as they walk down a path that will force Cassian to learn the dark consequences of the deal he made all those years ago.
