Gishk is a powerful empire on the war path. Ten years after Emperor/General Raul Fleischer declared his intentions of expanding the country's borders, they've methodically invaded every country that has stood in their way. Now, they've set their sights on their next target: the small nation of Caitha. Elise lives in a small town close to Caitha's western border, where not much has changed in the past hundred years. A healer of some skill, her life revolves around working in the family tavern, helping to heal Thaos' injured, and keeping the fact that she can manipulate fire a secret. The war seems like a far-off nuisance in that town, one that will never reach them. However, when a Watchman stumbles into the tavern one night, nearly dead from a mysterious fight, he brings the war with him, turning her world upside down.
