The quiet life of a timid farm boy from Lanksher is shattered when a sinister shadow marks him for death. Forced from his family and their peaceful village, Chayim embarks on a desperate quest to understand why this evil now stalks his every move. With unexpected allies—an eccentric old sage, an immortal knight from a long-forgotten kingdom, and a perplexingly flirtatious girl who seems to take pleasure in tormenting him—Chayim learns he is the focus of an ancient prophecy. He must seek the lost armor of Mélekh while being threatened by golems, dragons, and a lich sorcerer. Among the ruins of a fallen kingdom, Chayim must overcome his doubts and step into a great power, or watch the world and everyone he loves be consumed by darkness.
