Book two of the Eldar Chronicles continues to follow the transformation of Dareth Hornbow's emergence as an Eldar. New challenges that await our still overwhelmed hero, include dealing with pirates, intervention in a civil war, and discovering the need to re-write the entire history of the western worlds while preparing for an epic encounter with a rogue creature out of the dim recesses of time. If those were not challenges enough, Dareth must simultaneously deal with the sublimation of his old identity as the Lord Argent increasingly dominates his being. Even if Lord Argent survives the epic struggle he must prepare for, will Dareth?
