The magic-steeped realm of Eiden Myr has come under attack from the outerlands. A new power has arisen that may be the key to winning the war of the coast. Is it the light of salvation—or of delusion?To vanquish darkcraft, mages destroyed a warding that protected the realm for fifteen hundred years. Now the last ragged defenders battle horrors out of nightmare. Their blades are no match for the monstrous onslaught.

It will take a harrowing passage into realms beyond death, beyond human sight--a quest for the source of light itself.A great triad will rise, more wondrous and terrible than any before conceived, and the world will be transformed past all imagining. less
