Enter the land of Ishcria, a place shrouded by darkness and lorded over by the evil Council. It is a land lacking in both peace and human nature; it knows only pain and abuse. A boy different from the rest-an orphan forced to beg on the streets-experiences a sudden change in circumstance when a mysterious League of Light opens its doors to him. Now with a group of men who bestow kindness he has never known, Derruth finds his true calling: to join with the League in its secret struggle against the Council and to reveal to the enslaved Ishcrian people a message of hope and truth.
