Hunter, a soldier-turned-monk, has sworn to dismantle the tyrannical Kistrill Empire. His weapon? Kingmaker, the royal family's enchanted sword and most potent symbol of power, stolen right from under their noses. With his loyal, battle-hardened friend Chekwe at his side, Hunter seeks refuge in the treacherous mountain jungles of Orzan.

But sanctuary is a distant dream. Two determined women are on his trail: Tennea, Hunter's own sister and the Emperor's elite manhunter, is bound by duty to retrieve Kingmaker and bring her brother to justice. Armed with a company of crack cavalry and a trove of enchanted artifacts, she exploits Hunter's deepest vulnerability – his yearning heart. Then there's Dahlia, a fierce widow who will do anything to protect her son and salvage her ranch from relentless goblin raids. She needs Hunter's help, whether he's willing to give it or not.

As rum-fueled goblin skirmishes escalate into a full-blown war, and Orzan's petty warlords scramble for control of Kingmaker's power, Hunter faces impossible odds. Can he uphold his oath and safeguard the enchanted blade? Or will Chekwe's uncontrollable desire to wield Kingmaker's mysterious power doom them all?
