A thief running from grave danger. A hunter seeking a better future. A warrior striving to achieve justice. And a merchant...who really wishes people would buy what he's selling?

These four, as unlikely as it seems (even to them), find themselves all caught up in the affairs of one of the greatest living heroes around, the Master Blade. But what is he really after? And why does he want one of them dead? The answers may lie with the organization that the Master Blade works for, the legendary bastion of all that is good, the Heroes Guild. But to find those answers, they will be forced to put themselves....IN HARM'S WAY.
