This tale follows the exploits of Cinderstrider: a fell entity capable of weaving flame and to his will binding it. During a fateful encounter, Cinderstrider loses the only thing in all the world he dared cherish, yet in the ashes of ruin finds something new: a spark of hope. For his eldritch powers can bestow life as well, can awaken those whose hearts have fallen silent, reignite eyes once cold bleak and dun. Yes, from ruin is something new wrought, yet whether its voice will for triumph or ruin knell, only the fates know.

Perhaps that, is why they laugh.
