Summary
Age of Darkness is the story of Keimaro Hayashi, a young man
tormented and shunned for reasons unknown to him. When his
village is attacked and his adopted family slaughtered, Keimaro
must join with his only friend, Yata, to find vengeance for
those he loved most. Hounded by a villainous group known as the
Bounts, Keimaro travels far from his simple, shielded home into
a world filled with espionage, magic, and betrayal. He gains
allies along the way—others who have been wronged by the
Faar Empire and who possess mystical powers that offer unique
possibilities. Along the way, he faces temptation in the form
of the enchanting Princess Aika and his own dark desires to
overthrow the very gods who condemned his people. Keimaro faces
the demon within himself and presses on, learning that
vengeance can be found in many forms. Can Keimaro find the good
within and protect those he loves?
