What happens to the heroes that fail?

Dumped by her previous Master in a backwater village, failed Apprentice Hero Cara still dreams of becoming a full-fledged Hero: A professional slayer who protects the innocent from the ravenging hordes of monsters which roam the kingdom of Acadia.

When Cara rescues a naive Acolyte from assassination, she earns a second chance to prove her worth to the Heroes Guild... if she can deliver Dayton in one piece.

What starts out as a simple protection quest quickly unravels into a desperate fight for survival -- for herself, for the Guild, and for the very soul of Acadia.
