"The Drenai people have had their young King slain by an assasin, and have been invaded. Their land is wartorn and roaming bands of raiders slaughter indiscriminately.
Their armies are harried at every turn, and their only hope is a return of the legendary Armour of Bronze, around which to rally their troops.
One man sets off to regain the armour of Bronze from the mountains deep in Nadir territory.
But this man is Waylander, the assasin who slayed the King."
