Summary
Jaren once lived the thrilling life of an adventurer,
saving the innocent and slaying foul monsters all across
Tigraen. But now, blind and haunted by past failures, he ekes
out a lonely existence as a hermit in the forest. His only
companion is a tiny, loyal songbird. Fate is not finished
with Jaren. An ancient demon is rising to power once more; a demon
Jaren believed defeated. Fueled by sacrificial offerings from
a fanatic cult, the demon’s dark influence grows. If no
one stops the cult from unleashing it, Tigraen will be
consumed by war and hellfire. Desperate to save his forests, a wild fey implores Jaren
to recommence his life as a hero – for only Jaren holds
the key to the demon’s defeat. This quest would be
nearly impossible for an entire group of warriors, let alone
a single blind man. But Jaren is not eager to revisit the
darkest parts of his past. With Jaren reluctant to take the
quest, the fey transforms the little songbird into a
beautiful maiden to send in Jaren’s stead. Armed with
more curiosity than common sense, a naïve but determined
Songbird is unwavering in her quest to vanquish the demon and
save Tigraen. Jaren is thrown into an impossible predicament — let
Songbird charge forth alone to certain death or join her and
take up his sword once more. Jaren will have to risk not just
his life but his heart as well if he hopes to be victorious
this time around. Can a broken warrior and a hopeful Songbird
slay the demon and save the day, or are they fated to ruin
and heartache?
