High in the wooded, peaked mountains of Skeln, the woodsman, Dakeyras, and his beautiful daughter Miriel, live a life of harmonious solitude. Unbeknown to them, a group of grim-eyed, bloodthirsty warriors stalk the mountains. Men who have never known defeat, to whom revenge and torture are meat and drink. For ten thousand in gold they are eager to kill the woodsman.

Battle-hardened warriors all, they have no fear of this taskβ€”though they should have. For Miriel is a woman of fire and iron, skilled with bow and blade, and taught her skills by one of the deadliest killers of all time...

Her father, Dakeyras, better known as Waylander the Slayer.
