After more than 1500 years of relative peace among the kingdoms of Northwest Leruséa, the Dark God, Draagan, and his servants are stirring once more in the deserts of the Southlands.
Following the resurgence of the Shadow Cult, those dedicated to the service of Draagan, the Àehl discover everything they have believed for more than a hundred thousand years is a lie - from their origins to the reality of what their gods are, and who is really pulling the strings on the world of Teran.
When Tarasan, an Àehl mercenary captain turned assassin, and Megan, a Marei thief, meet on the rooftops of Eintal, they cannot imagine the sequence of events that will be set in motion.
