Along the way, he uncovers the tragic and complicated origin story of Helen and Mark Blackthorn, two siblings caught between different worlds. As Simon continues his rigorous training, he must decide what kind of warrior he truly wants to be: one who blindly follows the rules, or one who stands up for what is right.
