EVEN IN THE FACE OF DEFEAT,

HOPE WILL NOT DIE QUIETLY.

“Our enemy is certain that if we’re battered on the rocks long enough, we will yield. Will you prove him right?”

“There was only one goal in sight. Fight to win.”

​

A savage war has come to Alithell, and fear follows in its wake. Ancient powers stir. As Falrey O’Dyre’s iron fist tears civilization up by the roots, an unexpected horror throws Eyoés and Gwyndel headlong into the fiery cataclysm that will define their lives. A resistance rises from the ashes to make its stand. Gathering old friends to his side, Haeryn throws himself headlong into a perilous game of cat and mouse. Together, they confront the greatest evil of their time with hearts torn between belief and desperation. The final days have dawned—and death will not sleep until everything is crushed under his monstrous heel.

Hope will unite them. Steel will break them. Suffering will refine them.
