Byron Villa, the youngest son of Duke Cedric of Antier, was born into a life of responsibility that he never desired. In a kingdom where every human possesses the power of an animal spirit, Byron is unusually slow to develop the talents expected in a man of his station. Byron’s well-known carousing mixed with his lack of desire to assume any adult responsibilities, results in his father sending him away for early military training. Byron undergoes training while trying to survive under the predatory gaze of every young noble in the duchy.
When an army of monstrous centaurs and minotaurs begin to invade Antier, Byron and his childhood friends, Jeron and Dalton, find the mantle of responsibility thrust upon their uncertain shoulders as the trainees are called to the battlefield. At a desolate frontier fortress, Byron joins the army of Darik, his elder brother and potential heir to the kingdom, to fight the enemies of humanity. Upon the walls of Fort Hope, Byron will discover whether he has the strength to survive the foes outside the fortress as well as those within.
