À travers les vastes territoires contrôlés par le Syndicat Négociant d'Archefer, rien n'est plus prisé que le sang des dracs, donnant d'immenses pouvoirs à de rares élus. Mais les lignées de dracs s'affaiblissent et l'équilibre du monde est menacé. On raconte que seuls les pouvoirs du drac-Argent, plus puissants que tous les autres, pourraient le rétablir. Afin de débusquer cette créature légendaire, le Protectorat enrôle Claydon Torcreek, un voleur aux facultés secrètes.

Des siècles durant, le Syndicat Négociant d'Archefer s'est appuyé sur le sang de drac – et sur les pouvoirs qu'il confère aux Sang-bénis – pour protéger son empire. Mais cette manne précieuse est venue à manquer… Lancé à la poursuite du légendaire drac-Argent, Claydon Torcreek a découvert que celui-ci n'avait qu'une ambition : asservir le monde des hommes, à l'aide de son armée d'esclaves altérés.

La horde du drac-Argent trace un sillon sanglant à travers le monde, ne laissant derrière elle que des cendres fumantes. Des milliers d'innocents ont déjà succombé à son appétit de conquête et bien d'autres vont suivre. Seuls Claydon Torcreek et Lizanne Lethridge se dressent encore entre la fureur dévastatrice du drac et la fin de leur peuple. Avec l'aide d'alliés inattendus, il leur faut se tourner vers le passé et percer le mystère intemporel qui, seul, leur permettra d'inverser le cours du raz-de-marée mortel qui s'annonce...

The realm burns. Vaelin Al Sorna is tired of war. He's fought countless battles in service to the Realm and Faith. His reward was the loss of his love, the death of his friends and a betrayal by his king. After five years in an Alpiran dungeon, he just wants to go home. Reva intends to welcome Vaelin back with a knife between the ribs. He destroyed her family and ruined her life.

The Sixth Order wields the sword of justice and smites the enemies of the Faith and the Realm. Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of 10 when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order. The Brothers of the Sixth Order are devoted to battle, and Vaelin will be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate, and dangerous life of a Warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order.

Vaelin Al Sorna, warrior of the Sixth Order, called Darkblade, called Hope Killer. The greatest warrior of his day, and witness to the greatest defeat of his nation: King Janus' vision of a Greater Unified Realm drowned in the blood of brave men fighting for a cause Vaelin alone knows was forged from a lie. Sick at heart, he comes home, determined to kill no more. Named Tower Lord of the Northern Reaches by King Janus's grateful heir, he can perhaps find peace in a colder, more remote land far from the intrigues of a troubled Realm.

We have fought battles that left more than a hundred corpses on the ground and not a word of it has ever been set down. The Order fights, but often it fights in shadow, without glory or reward. We have no banners. Vaelin Al Sorna is the Sixth Order's newest recruit. Under their brutal training regime, he learns how to forge a blade, survive the wilds and kill a man quickly and quietly - all in the name of protecting the Realm and the Faith. Now his skills will be put to the test.
