Years after his most notorious deeds, Waylander lives under the name Dakeyras in the wooded mountains of Skeln. He has trained his daughter Miriel to survive by bow and blade, but their isolation ends when professional killers are sent to collect a rich price placed on his head.

The attack draws father and daughter into a wider struggle involving revenge, political intrigue and enemies touched by unnatural power. Waylander must decide whether a man shaped by killing can protect Miriel without condemning her to repeat his life, while Miriel proves she is more than the child he hoped to shelter.
