"You will need to bury old grudges and make enemies into friends. Only when the world marches under one banner will this threat be exterminated." Harrison, Tree of Wisdom.
The ancient enemy has returned: Fiends have made their move on the surface, launching their unholy crusade against humanity and spreading their vile corruption to the lands. But the fiends are not the only threat; Old enemies once thought defeated are making their move. The undead shift in their graves and tombstones are cast aside, brought back and united under a master of dark magic. Vampires once thought of as mere myth are resurgent intending to put themselves back on top. Can humanity, weakened by internal conflict and strife, hope to overcome these threats or is the time of humanity done for? The fate of the world rests on one man's shoulder, Duke Aeden of Solstice. But can he hope to unite the forces of good under one banner when everyone has their own motivations and reasons for fighting, not all selfless and righteous? And which side will the vampire Celena choose? Her own kind or humanity? Only time will tell if she can overcome her nature and discover her humanity.
