A Land in Shadow

Darkness engulfs a ravaged land ...

Dreadful legions of undead devour any remnant of life ...

Ashyla, a crazed Goddess gone mad with vengeance, will stop at nothing to regain her stolen freedom. Trapped with a ravenous Shadow that she can no longer control, and a fiery nemesis destined to strike her down, she must balance the strings of a crumbling realm, else forever lose her glimpse of freedom.

But there is still hope ...

A group of companions, with no memories of their former selves, is thrust into a barren world of decay. Tasked with reuniting with the Flame, and defeating the vile Shadow, they must journey through the dark wilderness consumed by death and destruction. It is a battle for survival. In a land full of traitors and lies, will the companions escape the iron clutches of darkness, or will they fall victim to Ashyla’s webs of deception?
