Banished from the anthehomes, the former assassin Tylidae wanders the wilderness, consumed by the pain of her past and once again a hunter of men. But everything changes when she meets a group of desperate foreigners on the outskirts of the port town of Corvain. As she takes on the task of protecting them in their search for treasure in the ruins, Tylidae sees a glimmer of hope for redemption and a hope of acceptance.

However, her newfound sense of purpose is threatened when the powerful and manipulative Domnic Stark enters the picture, trapping her in a web of deceit and betrayal. With danger lurking at every turn, Tylidae must choose between continuing down a path of self-destruction or risking everything on a chance for more.

But as she delves deeper into the mysteries of the Islanders, Tylidae realizes that they may not be who they seem. With Stark haunting their footsteps through the darkness of the underground ruins, the simple search for treasure becomes something infinitely more dangerous. Can Tylidae finally find the acceptance she craves, or will she become a pawn in a dangerous game of deception?
