Sir Ashlar, Knight of the Royal Guard of Dahlia, must travel far to the north on a diplomatic mission to establish relations with the northern tribes. He soon finds himself on a rescue mission to an island so remote that no human has ever voyaged there. But there’s a war to prevent before he can return to his homeland which, wouldn’t you know it, has just been invaded.

For Ashlar, it’s all in a knight’s work.
