++++

When the Seer goes blind, the truth comes out...

After the death of his wife and child, Prince Michael is left in despair. Soon after, a prophecy is given, and his grieving heart is set on a mission to find the remedy - the bearer of the Flames of Guilt. Though he doesn't understand the full meaning of the words spoken, he sets out to fulfill what he believes will be his destiny.

But destiny doesn't always come the way we expect it.

After years of searching, the nobleman is ready to give up, until the day he enters the rusty gates of the Kingdom of Gloom. Under the dreary skies and by the light of the bonfires scattered over the cursed kingdom, he meets Princess Evangeline, the ruling noble, and a woman cloaked in mystery and a bad reputation.

She's gritty and upfront. She surrounds herself with a gang of bandits, and is quick to draw her dagger. She would rather throw you to the ground and kick you in the gut, than dance at a grand ball. She likes to gamble, and is the ultimate participant in the community hog races. Her closest companion is a slobbering Saint Bernard. She spends her time traversing a massive hedge maze that is more than it appears, and doing battle with a flock of evil birds, whose caws can bring blood from your ears. Her Kingdom is dark and covered in dirt and grime, and yet Michael finds himself intrigued. He came to Gloom only for a peace treaty to please his father, but he finds something in the rundown kingdom that is much more important.

Something that will uproot his world, and change everything he knows.

Everything he believes.

Everything he hopes for.

Everything that matters.
