Every sixty years, Vincent Hayes—the legendary Blade Master—descends the mountain to walk among mortals, seeking those destined for greatness. To them, he lends a sacred blade, ushering in an era of fortune and power. Six decades ago, he granted this blade to the Ward family of Rivermoor, bringing them unmatched prosperity and a lineage of brilliance. But after the family elder's death, greed consumed the younger generation. Not only did they try to seize the blade for themselves, they sought to wipe out Vincent's bloodline. Now, with the blade still unreturned, Vincent walks the mortal world once more to settle the debt.
