On the run from desert tribesmen in Medieval China, Western mercenaries William Garin and Pero Tovar stumble upon the awesome Great Wall and its mysterious defenders. They are reluctantly taken in, yet are refused permission to leave... but the more time they spend with The Nameless Order, the more it becomes clear that there are far worse things out in the desert than barbaric tribesmen.
