They won a battle but ignited a war and a betrayal like none other is coming.



The Great Seer makes her move. As Evurn moves to retake Eliadel, a greater enemy reveals itself. Aeveam is learning the secret to her own lineage and hidden power that was suppressed. A twisted zeal grows within her.



Now, Kealin and Trugno work with the paladin Elwynn and the Order of Iruda to attempt to cut off the Great Seer's ties to demonic energies and blood magic. But Kealin has been drifting into the repository of knowledge known as the Book of Urakel, an ancient tome with a personality of its own . . . who is this unseen hand that scribes such dark revelations?



All the while wizards rise up across the lands in growing strife among their order. But Kealin doesn't trust them. Even though many of his friends do.



In the end, it may be a rogue elf and his trusted companion who must strike, alone . . .
