No surrender. No retreat. With twenty enemy swords closing in, the last knights of a fallen order turn to fight.
Adelais, raised on tales of old gods and rune magic, is locked away in a convent, her spirit chafing against foreign dogma. But when inquisitors threaten an innocent man, she rebels—freeing him and escaping with a band of outlawed knights.
These warriors, the last of the once-powerful Guardians, now roam as fugitives, harboring a secret treasure that could shift the fate of kingdoms. Pursued relentlessly, Adelais must rely on her wits, courage, and ancient magic to survive.
Each encounter brings danger, and Adelais is soon a figure of whispers—witch or warrior, angel or demon. But can she escape her hunters—or is fate closing in?
