Synopsis

<span style="color: rgba(7, 26, 34, 1)">An eternal darkness is coming to the world. So say the drug-crazed cult, whose file-toothed adherents proclaim the ramblings of a madman and who journey to the ancient city of Highfall to release their god - the Master of Shades.</span>

<span style="color: rgba(7, 26, 34, 1)">At this time, a young woman emerges from out of Highfall's slums, known only as Shrew, who must steal to stay alive.</span>

<span style="color: rgba(7, 26, 34, 1)">Capture is inevitable, and Shrew is forced into servitude and made to work in the sewers, where she stumbles upon a dagger containing the spirit of a legendary fey woman. A bond forms between them, and Shrew sees an opportunity to escape and improve her lowly existence - but the spirit has another plan.</span>

<span style="color: rgba(7, 26, 34, 1)">Meanwhile, the Master of Shades stirs in his confinement and the darkness edges ever closer.</span>

<span style="color: rgba(7, 26, 34, 1)">This is the tale of Shrew, her struggle to discover her past and her unwitting involvement in a race to prevent an ancient evil from consuming the world.</span>
