The story begins with the young Prince Gaborn Val Orden of Mystarria traveling in disguise to ask for the hand in marriage of Princess Iome of Sylvarresta. The Prince and his warrior bodyguard decide to make a stop at a tavern along the way when they spot assassins who have their sights set on his father.
