Long have the Disciples of Amarna strove to spread the light of their god throughout the tumultuous, battling Baronies. Now, after centuries of effort, Sojourners sent out by the Order are reaching the last of the far flung hamlets, all but lost in a sea of forest cradling the Lands of Men. In one of these anonymous hamlets, Melaina settles in to fulfill her Sojourn of Service; the capstone of her education which will culminate in her induction into the Order. Secure in her learning in the greatest center of learning in all the lands, she is unprepared when war breaks out once more and sends her fleeing for her very life. On the run, her Sojourn truly begins as she is forced to question her Order, her calling, even her very faith in Amarna himself.
