ally damaged warrior who has spent the last thirty years hating his enemies and running from his past and himself. All he knows is violence and survival, fierce commitment to his friends, and swift judgment to his enemies.

Suddenly, a good friend's call for help forces him into cooperation with the very enemies he has sworn to kill. His only stability is the old friendship that he never thought would fail; but people change, loyalties shift, and even good friends can have ulterior motives.

Roddel finds that his pride leaves him feeling angry. His anger leads to loneliness and regret. His only release from these seems to be violence, until he meets a blind man who shows him a better way and better reason to live.

Perhaps the peace that he seeks, peace that transcends his past and his prejudice, cannot be found within himself. Perhaps true peace comes from another source. Can his greatest enemies hold the key to his future?
