Two warrior lineages - one humble, second noble. Once, a bond was forged between them, and it has to be fulfilled. She comes from the land of the rising sun and colours. He comes from the country of rain and lilies. She loves her family above everything; he loves another woman. She is looking for ways to break the ties of the past so she can go home. He is trying to find a way to save his fiancée, without breaking an old oath. They have nothing in common, yet fate has decided to connect their paths. The promise that has to be fulfilled. The honour that is not honour. The love that is not loving. Together there are leading on a dangerous journey, chased by the darkness. The dangerous Shadows are waiting in every dark corner, like heralds of cruel death. The journey will be long, but at its end, there may be nothing at all.
