The Death of Calonar is at hand.
The Shadowed Mage is determined to see the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. The Inversion shall ruin the barrier of the world. The Dark Empress shall return. The Demon-God shall rise. But first, House Calonar must fall. The Shadowed Mage has brought his terrible power to bear, corrupting holy knights and Uldra technologists. A mercenary army under the command of a traitorous warlord now lays siege to the Northern Keep in service to the Shadowed Mage's goal. Villages burn, families are destroyed, and the innocent desperately defend their home.
Half a continent away, Tomas and his friends struggle to return in time. They have secured one of the great Seals of Stalline, an immeasurably-powerful magical artifact. With it, they hope to prevent the Death of Calonar and save their friends and families, derailing the prophecy. But time grows short.
Death has come to the Warring East.
