High in the mountains of Skeln, the woodsman Dakeyaras and his beautiful daughter Miriel live a life of harmonious solitude. Unbeknown to them, a group of warriors stalk the mountains. Men who have never known defeat, to whom revenge and torture are meat and drink. For ten thousand in gold they intend to kill the woodsman.
Battle-hardened warriors, they have no fear of this task - but they should have. For Miriel is a woman of fire and iron. Skilled with bow and blade, she was taught her skills by one of the deadliest killers of all time... Her father. A woodsman better known as Waylander the Slayer.
