He won her heart, but now he might lose his way

Without a home to call their own, young Franko and his father, Ringo, lived their lives venturing across the kingdom of Wyverly as traveling merchants. They moved about from town to town finding work and opportunities whenever they arose. They lived a simple and care-free life, sleeping under the stars and letting tomorrow worry about itself. Just the way the boy liked it.

But when they are ambushed by a violent cult called the Garelians, Franko loses everything that matters to him. After narrowly escaping with his life, he now seeks vengeance at any cost, even if it means joining up with a dark and mysterious figure who once haunted him. One known as The Forest Demon.

He joins the Wyverly Guard and rises up the ranks, rekindling an old flame with a childhood sweetheart along the way.

Now, he must make an impossible decision: love or revenge, the future or the past.

Franko must choose his path… even as The Forest Demon holds a dark secret that could change everything.
