Dark Horse

Dark Horse - The village of Alda sits in the shadow of a broken fortress that most would rather forget existed. Within it lives an old an outcast, a sorcerer - someone the poor people of Alda would kill if he didn't terrify them so. The Black Flux ravaged this region before, killing everyone whose lungs it filled with a deadly tar that could not be exhumed. Now the woman Chakra loves has it - and she will die of it.

Though he has signed to join the army in their march to the south, Chakra must break that vow and leave his friends to keep to save Melina. There is only one person to whom he can turn to save his love, the one person his village fears most.
