The sole surviving prince of the kingdom’s bloody downfall, Charles, hides his identity among the slums and bands of mercenaries. He drinks a forbidden potion and endures the agony of his meridians being torn apart, all to gain the strength to cleave through steel armor. From underground arenas, he fights his way back to the heart of power. He smiles as he approaches each of his enemies, while sharpening his dagger in the shadows. Revenge is never forgiveness. It means taking back everything, with interest.
