The continent of Zoamand, the land of antiquity that is called the "birthplace of the world." In this land, a war has raged for hundreds of years, as countless tribes and warlords fought to unify the midlands and claim supreme dominion. Their rule has become so weak and fragmented from constant battle that they now rely on mercenary armies to fight for them, and any hope of the war's end is a distant dream.
Amidst the turmoil of this conflict, we find the young sword maiden Raine, would-be princess of a fallen kingdom, and her sworn retainer Bishop, both reduced to the life of blades-for-hire. That would change, however, when they undertook a certain mission - a mission which by all accounts appeared routine, but would set in motion a sprawling tale of conspiracy, heroism, faith, devotion, and even the nature of reality itself.
Embrace the heresy that liberates humanity. Shine the light of truth on the world.
