THE GODS HAVE FALLEN, AND SO WILL THE STARS.
Centuries ago, the old gods who walked Endlia vanished from the lands. The prophecy of the Boy with the Star-Shaped Eyes foretold their return, and now, news of the boy's existence has plunged the Five Realms into chaos, reigniting old wars and starting new ones.
Ket Norlath has strived to hide from his past. But his new life is destroyed when soldiers ransack his farm and take his family. An ambitious king gives him a choice: serve his cause and seek out the boy from the prophecy - kill him or capture him - or watch his family say their final prayers. Ket chooses to walk a familiar path, paved in violence and bloodshed. With the help of a homicidal court jester and a teenage witchling, Ket travels north. To end the prophecy. Restore balance to the Five Realms. Before the power that grows there ends them all.
