Set in a sweeping alternate world, The Sword and the Satchel tells the story of Eric, a man without any memory of his past, and Anika, the healer who brings him back from the brink of death. Tied together by circumstance, the two are forced to seek safety after a war party raids Anika's village. But while Eric may have forgotten who he is, not everyone has forgotten about him, and there are those who would see him dead.
