Using horrifying strength and a murderous blade, the rot king took the mountain city of Egovan. His assault on the land terrorized its inhabitants and forced them to live in hiding for over a decade. Now, many years later, the king never leaves his mountain and the locals have started to fight back, never forgetting the agonies they endured. But the king's family and followers are the ones who suffer the consequences of his actions as his children have been kidnapped, caged, and are forced to fight for food. Can the siblings survive long enough to find a way home or will hate, love, blood, and fear prove that cages aren't the only things that bind us?
