A retired legend unsheathes his sword to protect his wife, reigniting a realm-spanning war.
Arden has spent three years forging plowshares instead of legends, content beside his wife in a Middle Lands village. When Shadow Warlocks corner her, he retrieves Silence from beneath the floorboards. The blade's resonance confirms what the neighbors never suspected: the quiet smith is the First Forge Knight returned. His reappearance shifts the balance as conflict spreads across the realm, forcing the man who chose anonymity to become the realm's frontline once more.
