Three thousand years ago, when Arent os Storm fled the fall of Thule, he brought with him more than just survivors and ancient knowledge.

He brought a weapon.

The Armor of Arent is a forty-foot-tall mecha in the shape of a knight in armor, with a crow-faced visor on the helmet, framed by wings. It can walk, it can fly, and it’s been waiting for a king worthy to pilot it. It may have finally found one.

Maxim os Storm was a young man away at university when a kallomancer and her leeches attacked the airship carrying his parents.

The creatures tore through passengers and crew, drinking blood and spreading terror. By the time it was over, Maxim had lost his parents and other family members to the monsters many hunters consider the most dangerous algomancers of all.

This is personal for him. And for the Stormcrows who survived that night, kallomancers represent a threat that can never be forgiven.
