Yen Press describes the summary of the manga as follows:
Tender for a past long forgotten, determined to save what she once loved.
The fire has been lit. A nameless woman wakes up. Awakened from her grave by a past she cannot recall, she sets out into a barren, unfamiliar landscape. The guard followed. Bound by oath and honor, he protects her from approaching dangers with the same brutality he does with the secrets of his past. The Gray Cinders gathered in their tower, called by the fire to fulfill their solemn duty. A giant, death incarnate, was stirring among the skeletons beneath the scarred ground. And a nightmare—a scourge of a bygone era—returns to exact its consequences. The fate of the land hangs in the balance as their journey unfolds in this original DARK SOULS story!
FromSoftware is a sister company to Yen Press, which has published a variety of books based on its properties, such as Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying and ELDEN RING: The Road to the Erdtree. In October 2022, Yen Press published the original novel DARK SOULS: Masque of Vinmination.
