She and her mentor Serdra have bloodied the Brotherhood of the Pit multiple times, and thwarted their grabs for power. But now a new leader has risen within the secret order. One with a personal grudge against Katja, the terrible might of the sorcerers of yore, and no patience for the subtle games of the Silent War. Katja and Serdra get separated, as an invading army bolstered by the Brotherhood's demonic sorcery marches on a city, bent on conquest.
