On the broken world of Urdezha, Wendal Finn died on the hostile
plains of the wasteland, one more casualty in the endless war
between the city-dwellers and the clansfolk. But now Wendal has
returned to his home city of Old Castle, possessed by something he
brought back from the wasteland, something old and best left
forgotten. The spirits are calling it Sycamore, an ancient entity
out to avenge all victims of murder. And in a city like Old Castle,
no one is innocent. With his mind trapped inside a dead body,
Wendal can do nothing but watch as Sycamore turns him into a serial
killer. Until the magicians take an interest in him. Preserving
Wendal's body and trapping Sycamore inside it, the magicians now
have the perfect assassin at their disposal. Whenever they need an
enemy removed, they can set the killer loose on Old Castle. Between
these moments of horror, Wendal struggles to piece together the
remnants of his former life. He wants to know why his wife died
while he was fighting in the war, but no one will tell him, no one
wants him to know. Left to his own devices, Wendal picks at the
scabs that cover the dark secrets of the magicians and reveals a
threat to every city on Urdezha. The clans are massing. A
supernatural storm is raging across the wasteland. It has already
destroyed one city, and now it is heading for Old Castle. And the
only one who might prevent oblivion is the murderous entity who the
spirits are calling Sycamore.
