Luke enlists in the military with the hopes of making enough money to leave his life in the Sullies behind and start anew. His dream is interrupted when Damocles attacks in retaliation to the brutal murder of their queen. As he readies himself for battle against the most powerful kingdom in the world, the young soldier realizes that he may be in over his head. Whether he is or whether he isn't, he must learn to believe in himself or he will surely perish.
Indeed, Luke does leaves his old life behind, but not in the way he envisioned. During his search for something greater, he will face obstacles that seem overwhelming as he learns to fight not only with the sword, but also with his heart, as warriors of legend do.
