Publisher's Synopsis
A powerful demon, called Conath, commissioned the forging of a weapon that would allow him to enslave worlds; thus the Axe of Fate was born. Before Conath could take possession of the ax, it was pulled from the forges and turned against him. Enraged Conath threatened to destroy everything; it was that moment that the seas flood into the land and froze. Unable to break though the magical ice protecting those responsible for the theft and with the threat of his new weapon turned against him, Conath fled the world Onviness.In the aftermath, new lower lying land was exposed by the absence of the seas' water, although under a continuous shroud of clouds and misting rain. This land was soon inhabited by refugees from other parts of the world.Meanwhile the Axe of Fate seeks to return to the hands of its master; the one who pulled it from the forges.As the years pass, the Axe allows itself to be wielded by Koven Goldenfields.
