Van Prado is a 19-year-old youth who carries the legacy of his grandfather, a fallen Paladin commander framed as a traitor. After witnessing his grandfather’s execution and surviving four years on the streets as a wayfarer, Van was captured and exiled to Wylderock Island because he was too young for the death penalty. Armed with his grandfather’s secret teachings and the toughness of a street survivor, he must now fight to stay alive in this harsh land. Even in exile, he holds onto his pride and the dream of clearing his family's name.
