Faolyne follows the path laid out for her by her dark master. When that path crosses Denai's, all "hell" breaks loose. 

Page 1 excerpt: 

When one life begins, another must end. 

It is the key to the planet's survival.

The key.

The only way.

Survival.

She was the key to the planet's survival.

Faolyne chanted the words as she ran, chanted them on her way to her next mark. The tails of her black cloak flapped behind her like the wings of a raven. Trees flew by, each a blur in the silent forest. She focused on nothing but her goal.

A human life waited at the end of the path, the one whose death would balance the shift and appease the gods. Specifically, appease Faolyne's dark master.
