**Winter, 1490** The mist of Blackstone Keep wraps the dark fortress in a silent shroud. Valerius Thorn, immortal, his gaze as heavy as the coming frost, watches the horizon. A son raised by war, he rules with deep suspicion after the betrayal that killed his father. They say he never forgets a face, and he never forgives those who betray him.
