Only the purest of souls may shine as a star. The brightest of which is inevitably the most destructive of them all.
A hundred years ago, the empire’s greatest swordmaster fell. He was a hero to some. A demon to others. The war consumed him, as it consumed everyone. His name was buried. His story was rewritten. The truth was lost in the blood and ashes of a conflict no one wanted to remember.
Now he returns as young Ricardt. A boy with no memories of his past life, but a soul that carries the weight of a century. A blade that once saved an empire now rests in the hands of a child who does not know he was ever anything more.
The demon and the hero are but two sides of the same blade.
Ricardt sets out on a journey to uncover the truth behind the war that consumed his first life. He will walk through the ruins of what he once protected. He will meet the descendants of those he fought beside. He will learn that the line between savior and destroyer is thinner than anyone wants to admit.
