THE STORY

As your elder brother takes his place on the throne… you are made warden of a small keep on the outskirts of the kingdom.  Blind from birth and sheltered for much of your childhood, you welcome your exile as a chance for a little adventure...

En route to the borderlands, your caravan is attacked by the vanguard of a huge invading army sweeping eastward toward the capital. You escape but find yourself alone in hostile lands.  With the aid of a local shepherd, you must survive the long, dark, dangerous valley that leads home...  A journey that will reveal startling truths about your land, your people and your own family.
