They call him the Wraith-a ghost on the battlefield, a legend whispered among soldiers. Before leaving Jacob's Forge, Seth swore two difficult oaths: to protect Beth Amen's eastern flank and to drive the enemy from his homeland. Barely more than a youth, ranger Seth Blackhawk leads a contingent of refugees home through a land scarred by war. But when Seth, Raniyah, and Helen reach the embattled settlement of Turkey Foot, they find Blackhawk on the brink of annihilation. Devastated during the initial orc invasion, the famed Blackhawk Brigade holds a precarious defensive line along the Rappacion River. Supplies are thin. Hope is thinner. And while soldiers bleed on the front lines, behind the scenes, others labor to undermine the war effort. Dishonesty and betrayal swirl at the highest levels within the Territorial government as a wicked influence wreaks havoc throughout the territory for its own ambitions. As enemies close in and corruption spreads, Seth must confront a terrifying truth: saving Blackhawk may demand more than skill with blade and bow. It may cost him everything. Who is the mysterious demon spinning chaos? Can Seth fulfill his promise to the Queen of the Beth Amen? Does the Blackhawk Brigade rise from the ashes to fight-or fall forever? In a land where legends are forged in blood, one teenage ranger may be the last hope of a nation.
