Some seek revelation or redemption, others dream of winning a place amongst the Resplendent, but all come because they must. Three travellers are drawn into the conspiracy that wards the wound – a knight haunted by his lost humanity, an aging poet who refuses to go gently into the night, and a scholar who yearns to redeem mankind.
