Description:
At a time when the balance of nature still held the civilizations of mankind in thrall,​ a single drought could spell the end of a society and doom its inhabitants to piteous deaths.​ Prince Chagum has been imbued with the power to stave off the drought and bring new life to his empire; however,​ this is a suspicious time,​ and he is accused of possession by an evil spirit.​ Court advisors only see one solution: Chagum must be put to death by his own father's hand.​

His salvation comes in the form of Balsa,​ a spear woman and mercenary from Kanbal,​ the kingdom across the mountains.​ Her skills are legendary,​ and although reluctant,​ she is held by a mysterious vow to save eight souls before she dies.​ Can she fend off an entire empire and make Chagum her eighth soul?​
