Gabe wants Clay's help to get their old friends back together and save Rose. The distant city of Castia is under siege from the largest horde of monsters seen in hundreds of years, and Gabe's daughter Rose is trapped there, as she had been doing mercenary work in the area. Until one day Gabriel, Saga's old frontman, comes calling with yet another attempt to get the band back together-but this one is important. Now, nineteen years later, Clay Cooper is retired with his wife and daughter, working as a town guard for his tiny village. For ten years, they were giants, the top of the game. He toured the world with his friends, taking gigs to clear out monsters that threatened villages, or even venturing into the Heartwyld itself, the most dangerous place in the world.

Clay Cooper was once a member of the band Saga, one of the most famous bands of mercenaries in history.
