The Legacy of the Watcher

“Break your opponent, little Erin. Shatter their will. End their life. Anything else is playing games with death.”

She is Erin Felhorn, the hidden daughter of the legendary Watcher of Veldaren. She is also Erin Gemcroft, inheritor to the wealth of one of the three families of the Trifect...which might have meant something before the east was destroyed in the Gods' War. Her family has sailed west, seeking safety in the lands of Ker, which were spared much of the wrath of the Fallen when the Night of Black Wings befell the world.

In their capital city of Angkar, she trains, ever seeking to live up to the stories of her father, Haern. What were just stories quickly become real when the Godslayer, Harruq Tun, arrives as escort to the young prince of Mordan. They come to ensure a lasting peace between the two nations as well as the last survivors of the elven people, but Erin cares for none of that.

With the half-orc's arrival, she can be trained by someone her own father trained. Except there are those among the elves who have witnessed the destruction wrought upon the land by the human gods and seek to elevate their own. Those who would follow in the legacy of the Darkhand, who conquered human cities with vice, assassination, and betrayal.

They would build for elvenkind a new kingdom, the Sun Kingdom, where humanity is ruled by those who live eternal. To get what they want, they will come for Erin's family. They will destroy the life they have built in the west. Not even the Godslayer is safe.

Her only savior is the one person she should never trust: a ghost of her past believed dead by all the world.

The child must bear the sins of their father's shadow.
