For centuries, the Oakveil Woodlands went untouched by man, its nature flourishing. That peace has come to an end. A ruthless force has infiltrated from the sea: fierce warriors bound to Megara, their Serpent Queen, corrupting the land and twisting the abundant life into fuel for their deadly weapons. Enter Oakveil, uncover the forbidden alchemy of the Venom Blades, and claim their power before it’s too late.
