Some vows are meant to be broken.
Luke is a reluctant relic hunter, bound by a cosmic vow he never wanted.
When the mysterious Myxellis demands he collect powerful relic shards from the most dangerous places imaginable, Luke has no choice but to comply.
With each artifact he recovers, he edges closer to freedom-if he can survive long enough to complete his task.
The ruthless Ebony Cloaks, a criminal gang who will stop at nothing to seize the relics for themselves. They shadow his every move, setting deadly traps and deadly ambushes.
With the help of his loyal companions, Luke must outwit his pursuers and deliver the final pieces to fulfill his vow.
The stakes couldn't be higher.
Should he fail, he'll remain forever chained to Myxellis's whims, forced to hunt ever more dangerous relics until one finally claims his life.
Will Luke finally break free from the bonds that have controlled him for so long? Or will the Ebony Cloaks claim both the relics and his life in their relentless pursuit of power?
