The famous battle mage, Kurl Morberlo, had everything he wanted.

Now he is branded a traitor. He betrayed his outpost, and cost his kingdom dearly because of his sympathy towards vampires. Now he fights in the pits, surviving because it’s the only thing left.

Then the offer arrives to become part of an Imperial disciplinary squadron for high potential mages. Will this be a chance to restore his reputation? Or is it a faster ticket to certain death? It’s a question only Kurl can answer.

The fate of his wife and daughter hang in the balance.
