"I gift you my soul, but not my life. Be content with the mercy I show you."

THE MAGICAL KING: A creature of incredible power, thought to be lost forever, may still hold the fate of the world in its hands.

THE KNIGHT: A champion of good with dark secrets becomes the most paradoxical ally a dark elf has ever had.

THE ENTERAI and JARLAXLE may be two strangers in the inhospitable Land of Bladestone, but it is not the first time they have encountered seemingly insurmountable difficulties.

The two mercenaries are called to prove their worth once again, this time facing the demonic remnant of a living dead that could grant them dominion over the world.
