Stout had everything he could want: parents, a good home, and a safe life. Then one day everything changed. The armies of an evil wizard named Calculo destroyed Stout's home and killed his parents. Stout joins the forgotten order of the Knights of Light, and trains to take on the quest of destroying Calculo.
During his quest he encounters many dangers: goblins, ogres, and even grafted men. Calculo's transhumanist surgeries produce ever more diabolical chimeras, that Stout finds he must fight to complete the quest. But more ominous, and the true power behind Calculo, are the Dark Eternals creatures who can take the form of man or dragon.
The ultimate struggle between darkness and light is about to reach its climax, and Stout is in the middle of it all. What can one young man do in the face of such evil?
But Stout is not alone.
He has the Light.
