Thirteen warriors left- Helmfirth and Exulias in search of the lost, traveling deep into lands threatened by the dark lord Merilik and his forces.The farther from home they traveled, the deeper in darkness they found themselves, journeying closer and closer to Therende'al's sinister prison. Would they all survive facing the Dreor king's most powerful disciple, as well as his army of orcs, wargs, and the dead? Would they find any of the lost, or would they become lost themselves, victims of Merilik's plans for them? This small band of thirteen dwarves, elves, and humans- races not known for their trust in each other-will need to work together if they have any chance of surviving, and Tarin will need to set aside his hatred of elves if he wants any of his dwarves to return home.
