The Rise Of The Dark Falcon

In the township of Cassimina, a long-awaited legend takes shape.Krampel Paddymeyer, a 16-year-old orphan, has just learned about the power locked deep within him - the power to wield a great sword of the past - when his master dies following an orc raid. Orphaned again, Krampel sets out and becomes a bounty hunting loner, taking bounties without passion or prejudice toward the intended target. He turns into a heartless and unfeeling individual, where even the slightest touch causes him to grow agitated. With the power of Flad-rul, the Flame Thrower, on his hip, Krampel becomes the most feared bounty hunter by the time he reaches the age of 21.It is in this year that Krampel's life takes a drastic change. A task appointed to him by a wealthy land owner, followed by a request to apprehend two criminals wanted by the High Imperial Inquisitor, sends Krampel down a path least expected - and firmly entrenches him on the path toward his destiny. Enter a dwarf prince from a kingdom in the west, and the stakes grow higher: The dwarves of Lowbridge want the second criminal for crimes against a neighboring realm. When Krampel and his new apprentice meet the dwarf prince, they join forces to bring the criminal - someone from Krampel's not-so-forgotten past - to justice.
