In a land without heroes, there are two choices: find one... or become one....
The days of magic and myth are fading away, giving way to the age of industry and science. As teh last aged Hero sits upon the throne of Albion, two friends, the privileged Thomas, and his loyal servant, James, set out for the east in search of a legendary beast: the vicious, rarely seen balverine. But their desire for adventure may be their ultimate undoing. For although the age of Heroes is ending, danger and darkness are still abound in the wilds of Albion. And as they travel, they encounter both unlikely friends and unnerving allies, who all seek adventure of a different sort. Though Thomas and James seem on the verge of finding their quarry, they may not live to tell the tale.
