A lowly smith, trapped in a land ravaged by war, must make a choice. Fight the ever growing tide of the Fell, or flee and tarnish her name forever. Aria Aehren was a blacksmith, living with her uncle in the countryside when the war made its first push. Instead of being recruited like her neighbors and friends, she was forced to make weapons for the Fell as they pushed deeper into her homeland. Against her will, she armed the encroaching armies, bringing her great pain as she watched her blades slay her countrymen. Unable to do anything except stand there and watch. Until a woman with fiery hair and a spear in hand walked in, asking for sanctuary. Her fate now in her hands, Aria must decide whether she shall fight to live, or die the cowards death.
