You are the Briar Blade—the greatest hero of the Shieling. Your people have lived in exile for centuries, ever since their homeland fell to a horde of undead  monsters called the Bone Dancers. No one knows where the Bone Dancers came from, or how the old world fell, but one thing is certain: you must find a way to defeat them before they destroy what’s left of the world.

And that isn’t the only problem. Your people are on the brink of war, famine looms large, and tension is growing between science and the old gods. In the name of reclaiming your homeland, you can support insurrection or suppress it, kill the Bone Dancer queen or cure her, or risk Corruption by donning Bone Dancer armor yourself. Do you return your lord to his rightful throne, or betray him to forge a different path? You may even discover the truth about how the Bone Dancers were created in the first place—revealing an ancient injustice and the chance that it could all happen again.

The world is on a knife-edge, and your actions may tip the balance either way.
