The Innkeepers of the realm have placed a truce on Baxton Boddington Butterfield. A person of all things! After an Umbra, a demon assassin sent by an unknown master, decided to violate this truce and attempt to relieve Baxton from the burden of living, he settled on the theory that all this truce had done was put a target on his back. Baxton is forced to choose between watching his family home burn down from the inside or following the Valkyrie Brothers into a nearby realm where they will face the challenge of finding this assassin's master. Accompanied by the enigmatic Rumor and the odd worm-man Chabot, the ill-equipped Baxton and his companions must outrun this threat while seeking refuge in a place that only reflects images of his home. With only the integrity in his heart and his friends at his side, Baxton learns of a rogue Innkeeper who puts everyone across the realms in danger. Before he faces this evil, he must come to terms with the fact that even though there is nothing exceptional about him, he can inspire exceptional things.
